It is possible that his ascension was ensured through backing of military leaders, whose influence had waxed during the reigns of his immediate predecessors. Numismatic evidence indicates that this occurred in 1489. However, Mukut's own rule was very short, with the coinage produced the very next year (i.e. 1490) instead displaying the name of his brother Dhanya Manikya. It may be that he had lost the favour of the chiefs, who subsequently had him overthrown. References {{reflist Kings of Tripur ...

Twipra Kingdom
The Twipra Kingdom (), anglicized as Tipperah, was one of the largest historical kingdoms of the Tripuri people in Northeast India. Legend A list of legendary Tripuri kings is given in the Rajmala chronicle, a 15th-century chronicle in Bengali written by the court pandits of Dharma Manikya I (r. 1431). The chronicle traces the king's ancestry to the mythological Lunar Dynasty. Druhyu, the son of Yayati, became king of the land of Kirata and constructed a city named Trivega on the bank of Kapila river. His kingdom was bounded by the river Tairang on the north, Acaranga on the south, Mekhali on the east, Koch and Vanga on the west. The daughter of the King of Hedamba was married to King Trilochona of Trivega. The King of Hedamba, having no heir, made the eldest son of Trilochona the king of his land. After the death of Trilochona, his second son Daksina became King of Tripura. Daksina shared the wealth of the kingdom among his eleven brothers. Being the eldest son of ...
