The Oiniwar dynasty, or Oiṇīvāra dynasty also known as the Sugauna dynasty,[a] was a Maithil ruling dynasty of territories that form part of the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent.[3] They governed the area between 1325 and 1526, being preceded by the Karnat dynasty.[b] Following the demise of the dynasty, emerged the dynasty of the Raj Darbhanga. One of the Oiniwar Dynasty's most notable rulers was Shivasimha who was known for his patronisation of the art as well as leading military campaigns against neighbouring polities.[4][5]
