Medieval Bengal was ruled by a series of dynasties, including the Pala Empire, which was prominent from the 8th to the 12th centuries and known for its patronage of Buddhism. Following the decline of the Palas, the Senas emerged as a powerful Hindu dynasty in the 11th century, known for their cultural contributions and temple construction. In the late medieval period, Bengal came under the control of the Delhi Sultanate and later the Bengal Sultanate, before eventually becoming part of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. Each of these rulers contributed to the rich cultural and political history of the region.
