Gour Govinda  Govinda Fenchu (গোবিন্দ ফেঞ্চু "Gobind Fenchu"), better known by his regnal title Gour Govinda (গৌড় গোবিন্দ "Gour Gobind"), and also known by the sobriquet Son of the Sea (), was the 21st and final king of medieval Sylhet's Gour Kingdom. He is described as a very conservative Hindu ruler whose reign started in 1260. He was known to be disrespectful and intolerant of other faiths practised in Srihatta, such as Islam, Buddhism and certain Hindu denominations, often getting into war with neighbouring states such as Laur, Jaintia and the Khasis. Thus, he is considered to be the most tyrannical leader in Sylheti history. However, he is also noted as one of the strongest rulers in Bengal, and during his reign, Gour was described to be "free of enemies" due to other states fearing Govinda. After the arrival of Shah Jalal and the Conquest of Sylhet in 1303, Govinda left Gour and the area came under the rule of Wazir Sikandar Khan Ghazi. It is said that Govinda Fenchu had an extraordinary birth. His father was Srinanda, the eldest son of Raja Jayananda who was the king of Brahmachal, or "Southern Sylhet". Srinanda suffered from chronic rheumatism and so his younger brother, Upananda, took advantage of this by succeeding his father in the throne with the acceptance of the royal officers. Srinanda protested against this but was unsuccessful. He migrated to Kamrup where he became a sannyasi of Kamakhya Temple, leaving behind his wife and son, Govinda. It is said that here, Srinanda gained a better reputation and was even considered by some to be "God of the Sea" or "Pura Raja". Srinanda's wife, Anna Purna was the mother of Govinda Fenchu. Anna was also said to have been a neglected wife of Raja Gai Gobind of the Jaintia Kingdom. A conflict rose between Govinda's uncle, Raja Upananda of Brahmachal, and Govinda's other uncle, Raja Govardhan of Gour, or "Northern Sylhet".
