Dharmasraya, Administrative region in West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Dharmasraya Regency extends across 2,961 square kilometers of land, with elevations reaching 270 meters above sea level in West Sumatra province.

The region emerged from the former Kingdom of Dharmasraya, which gained power in the 11th century, before becoming an official regency in December 2003.

The population of Dharmasraya includes members of the Minangkabau ethnic group, who maintain a matrilineal social structure and Islamic traditions.

The regency divides into eleven administrative districts, with Pulau Punjung serving as its capital and main governmental center.

The territory contains multiple rivers and mountainous volcanic highlands, making it part of Indonesia's active tectonic zone.
