Comment:
Sugandha Rani was one of only two queens to have ruled Kashmir. She ascended the throne after her husband Sankara Varman died in battle and her infant son Gopala Varman was murdered. But her nobles killed her after just two years on the throne. A boldly struck specimen of this enigmatic queen. Scarce and choice.
