Magadha Kingdom

The Magadha Kingdom was an influential ancient Indian state located in present-day Bihar and parts of Bengal. It flourished from around the 6th century BCE to the 4th century CE and was a major center of political power, culture, and religion. Magadha saw the rise of powerful dynasties like the Haryankas, Nandas, and Mauryas, and played a key role in the development of Buddhism and Jainism. Its strategic location and resources helped it expand its influence across northern India, shaping the region's history, politics, and spiritual traditions for centuries.
