The Dvaravati Period refers to a historical era in Southeast Asia, particularly in present-day Thailand, from the 6th to the 11th centuries. This period is characterized by the rise of the Dvaravati Kingdom, which was influenced by Indian culture, particularly in art, architecture, and religion. The kingdom is known for its unique style of Buddhist art and the establishment of numerous stupas and monasteries. During the Dvaravati Period, trade flourished, connecting the region with other parts of Asia. The society was predominantly Buddhist, and the influence of Indian culture is evident in the inscriptions and artifacts found in archaeological sites. The Dvaravati Kingdom played a crucial role in the spread of Buddhism in Southeast Asia, laying the foundation for future kingdoms in the region.
