Khu Liên
Appearance
Khu Lien or Sri Mara[1] was born in Tuong Lam, an area of tension between Han Dynasty and the natives of Lam Ap (the precursor to Champa). In 192 AD, he defeated the Chinese prefect and declared himself king of Lam Ap. This is considered the official founding of Champa, though Cham legend dates the founding to be much earlier.[2]
