Note:&nbsp;Danujamarddana Deva, also known as &#39;Raja Ganesha&#39;&nbsp;ascended to the throne of the Bengal Sultanate in the Saka era 1339 (AH 819 /1416 AD). He played a pivotal role in establishing Hindu rule in Bengal and adopted the title &#39;Danuja Marddana Deva.&#39; Emerging from his origins as a Hindu landlord in Bhaturia, North Bengal, he initially served in Ilyas&#39; court during the time of Ghiyas-ud-din Azam Shah. Subsequently, he continued to serve successive Sultans of Bengal until he eventually seized control of Bengal upon the demise of Sultan Bayazid.

Raja Ganesha&#39;s rise to power was facilitated by the vulnerability of the preceding Ilyas Shahi dynasty. While there has been debate regarding the identification of &#39;Raja Ganesha&#39; as &#39;Danujamarddana Deva,&#39; the historical evidence suggests that he was able to mint coins in Pandua (Firuzabad), Sunargaon, and Chatgaon during his reign, signifying his control over a significant portion of Bengal. Notably, he stands as the first ruler to issue coins in the Bengali script and language, dating them in the Saka era, marking a significant historical milestone.
