<br />
The '''Danava dynasty''' was the first legendary line of rulers in [[Pragjyotisha Kingdom|Pragjyotisha]], established by Mahiranga Danava.<ref>{{harv|Gait|1906|p=11}}</ref> The dynasty was of [[Kirata]] origin. These rulers are mentioned in the [[Kalika Purana]] but there are no archaeological evidence to support this.<br />
<br />
The Danava dynasty consisted of Kirata chiefs; the last of whom, Ghatakasura, was killed and replaced by [[Narakasura|Naraka]].<ref>{{harv|Gait|1906|p=12}}</ref><br />
