Harsha-Vardhana

    0.03 sec.

Harsha-Vardhana (c. 590–c. 647)

Supreme ruler (sakala-Uttarapathanatha) of northern India from 606. Through a succession of military victories, he established a large pan-regional empire in northern and central India, extending to Kashmir in the northwest. It was connected by loose feudalistic tributary ties.

Originally chief of the Pushyabhutis, based in Thanesar near Delhi, he united his throne through a marriage alliance with the Maukharis, whose headquarters at Kanauj, in the upper Ganges valley, became his capital. A devout Buddhist, he was an enlightened and cultured ruler.
