Chandrachota

Chandrachota (Thai: จันทรโชติ) was a younger prince of Suphannaphum under Chandra Devarāja (จันทรเทวราช). He ascended the throne of Lavo in 1052 and reigned until 1069, and was supported by his elder brother Adityadhammikaraja (อาทิตยธรรมิกราช), ruler of Haripuñjaya, who waged a protracted five-year conflict against King Laparaja of Lavo, and successfully installed the younger prince, Chandrachota, as a new sovereign in 1052. Chandrachota's reign was contemporaneous with the period of extensive rebellion and political turbulence in Angkor, spanning approximately the 1050s through the 1080s.

Following the death of Chandrachota in 1069, the succession did not immediately pass to his sole heir, Narai I, because the prince was only 13 years old and therefore insufficient to assume sovereign authority. In consequence, the governance of Lavo was entrusted to a regency, which administered the kingdom on behalf of the royal heir for a transitional period extending from 1069 until 1082. Upon attaining maturity, Narai was duly invested with full royal prerogatives and formally enthroned as king.
