Suryavansha















The Ramayana was adopted by several Asian cultures. This Thai artwork shows the battle of Rama and Ravana.


Suryavansha (Suryavam(n)sham or Solar Dynasty) is a historical dynasty of ancient India. The term Suryavanshi refers to a person belonging to the Suryvansha dynasty. Raghuvanshi is an offshoot dynasty born out of the Suryavanshi clan.

The Puranas, particularly the Vishnu Purana, the Ramayana of Valmiki and the Mahabharata of Vyasa all contain accounts of this dynasty.


The Raghuvansha of Kalidasa also mentions the names of some of the kings of this dynasty.[1][2][3]
