'''Pundra''' (also known as Paundraka, Paundraya) was an ancient kingdom during the Late [[Vedic period]] on the [[Indian Subcontinent]], based in modern-day [[Bangladesh]] and [[West Bengal]]. Its capital was in "[[Pundranagara]]"; also referred as [[Pundravardhana]] or [[Mahasthangarh]], situated in [[Bogra]] upon ancient [[karatoya river]] of Northern [[Bangladesh]]. |
|||
A Pundra king challenged [[Krishna in the Mahābhārata|Vasudeva Krishna]] by imitating his attributes. He called himself ''Paundraka Vasudeva''. He was later killed by Lord Krishna in a battle. |
