**Kumaradevi** was the wife and co-ruler of the [Gupta emperor](/source/Gupta_emperor) [Chandragupta I](/source/Chandragupta_I) and the mother of the Gupta emperor [Samudragupta](/source/Samudragupta).

She was a [Licchavi](/source/Licchavi_(tribe)) princess and heiress, and the Licchavi territory was to merge into the [Gupta kingdom](/source/Gupta_kingdom) after the marriage of her with Chandragupta I. She was recognised as a [queen regnant](/source/Queen_regnant) in the new empire. Chandragupta I, throughout his reign, issued joint coinage, depicting him and Kumaradevi as joint rulers.[1]
