The decade after the death of Chakradhvaja Simha was one of turmoil in Assam during which there were no fewer than five rulers, only a couple of which appear to have had time to strike coins a rupee of Dihingia Raja not in this collection. Gadadhara managed to survive this period. Early in his reign he expelled the Muslims from Guwahati, thereby capturing a large amount of booty, which presumably enable him to strike much of his coinage. All his coins are dated to the 33rd year of the 60 year cycle used by the Ahoms and the legends invoke the Ahom deity, Lengdon, often identified as Indra. One or more bird symbols also often occur on the coins, as does a lion.
