Padmasambhava
Pala Dynasty
Chutiya Dynasty
Ahom Kingdom

The correct answer is: a) Padmasambhava

Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, is a Buddhist master who is credited with introducing Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century. He is also considered the founder of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, which is the oldest and most widespread lineage in Tibet.

The Nyingma lineage is prevalent in Arunachal Pradesh, a state in northeastern India. The state is home to a number of Buddhist monasteries, including the Tawang Monastery, which is the largest Buddhist monastery in India.

  • The Pala Dynasty was a Buddhist dynasty that ruled over Bengal in the 8th-12th centuries.
  • The Chutiya Dynasty was a Hindu dynasty that ruled over parts of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in the 12th-16th centuries.
  • The Ahom Kingdom was a Tai-Shan kingdom that ruled over Assam from the 13th to the 18th centuries.
