Naga Dynasty (or Nagas of Padmavati) (Hindi: नाग) (210 – 340 CE) was an ancient royal family of Central India that ruled Vidisha, Padmavati, Kantipur and Mathura.
The Naga kings are best known for their coins. Several thousands of them have been found.
Bhava Naga is mentioned in a Vakataka inscription which states that Rudrasena I was a daughter’s son of Bharasiva Naga family. Ganapati Naga is mentioned in the Allahabad Pillar Inscription of Samudragupta. Nagasena is mentioned as the ruler of Padmavati in Harshacharita of Bāṇabhaṭṭa.
