Kedah Darul Aman is one of the northern state in Malaysia. Consisting of the state capital Alor Setar. Reference to ancient Kedah was first mentioned in a Tamil poem Paṭṭiṉappālai written at the end of the 2nd century A.D. It described goods from Kadaram “heaped together in the broad streets” of Chola capital. The famous Tang dynasty Buddhist monk, Yi Jing who visited Malay Archipelago between 688–695, also mentioned about a kingdom known as Ka-Cha in the northern part of Malay peninsula. According to Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa or the Kedah Annals, Kedah was founded by a Hindu king named Merong Mahawangsa. According to the text further, the Sultanate of Kedah started in year 1136 when King Phra Ong Mahawangsa converted to Islam and adopted the name Sultan Mudzafar Shah.
