There are several versions of this tale and questions about the accuracy of the date, but most probably the early Rajas of Bhulua were Kayasthas from Western Bengal.
The Rajmala states Amishapara as the first capital of the kingdom, and this backed up by the presence of an ancient temple in the area which contains a stone idol of Varahi.
[4] Sriram, the fourth king of Bhulua, adopted the title of Khan which shows an influence which Islam and the neighbouring Delhi Sultanate had on the Hindu-ruled kingdom.
[3] To strengthen the defences of the Bhulua frontier from frequent Magh invasions, King Rajballabh appointed governors across his kingdom.
[7] He was responsible for inviting hundreds of Brahmins to Bhulua and gifting them land in Chapali, Kilpara, Barahinagar and Srirampur.
His court scholar Pandit Raghunath, under the pen name of Kavitarkik, authored the Kautukaratnakara (কৌতুকরত্নকার) play which includes a brief history of the Bhulua kingdom and its ruling dynasty in its preface.
[10] Between 1578 and 1579, Balaram broke the tradition of attending the coronation of the Maharajas of Tripura as he perceived Amar Manikya to be an illegitimate ruler.
Khan appointed Shaykh Abdul Wahid as the main commander of the entire expedition, which in total was made up 50 elephants, 3000 matchlockers and 4000 cavalry.
Ananta Manikya set up defences around Bhulua with the Magh Raja's assistance, before proceeding forward to the Dakatia banks where he built a fort.
The chief minister of Bhulua, Mirza Yusuf Barlas, surrendered to the Mughal forces and was rewarded by Abdul Wahid as a mansabdar of 500 soldiers and 300 horses.
Having no time to defend themselves, Manikya retreated further to seek refuge with King Min Razagyi of Arakan but was defeated at the banks of the Feni River.
In the early seventeenth century, Yashodhar Manikya of Tripura led a raid against the Bhulua kings, which ultimately resulted in a heavy defeat.
