The Khen dynasty (also Khyen dynasty) of Assam was a late medieval dynasty of the erstwhile Kamata kingdom. After the fall of the Pala dynasty of Kamrupa, the western region was reorganized into the Kamata kingdom when Sandhya moved his capital from Kamarupanagara to Kamatapur in about 1257 due to the frequent clashes with the Kacharis from the east.[1] Sandhya styled himself Kamateswara and the kingdom came to be known as "Kamata".[2][3] The Khen dynasty at a later period took control of the kingdom.
