Guru Padmasambhava defeated many local deities and gave them oath to protect Buddhism. As per this pic and post from facebook,Raja Gepang was a local protector deity overpowered by Guru Padmasambhav.

Fonia clan had the privilege to be the first ones to trade when the season opened for India tibet trade.After they came back was trade open for others.
