Abstract:
The Ashwamedh Yagya, an ancient Vedic ritual extensively documented in Indian epics and Vedic texts, holds significant historical importance. This ritual, detailed in texts such as the Rig Veda and Yajur Veda, is also elaborated upon in the Mahabharata’s Ashwamedha Parva. Despite its ancient prominence, the frequency and depth of the Ashwamedh Yagya declined over time after the Gupta dynasty. Archaeological evidence, including inscriptions and rock edicts, provides substantial insights into the practice of the Ashwamedh Yagya. The Gupta dynasty's inscriptions, particularly those issued by rule

An exploration of the problems of the later Gupta history of India from the time of Skandagupta (circa 456-67 CE), through Budhagupta (circa 477-88 CE), Narasiṃhagupa (circa 467-74 [?]), and Kumāragupta II (circa 474 [?]-76). The article demonstrates that Kumāragupta III is an historiographical phantom, and that the Gupta dynasty effectively ended with Viṣṇugupta (circa 515), the Hūṇa invasion, and the rise of the Maukhari dynasty.

Abstract:
The management of operations is what we call administration. Even while entire empires can collapse and other rulers can take their place, the administration of a country will continue on indefinitely. It is neither susceptible to transformation by revolution, nor can it be uprooted by upheaval. There were many dynasties that ruled over India, but the Mughal dynasty is considered to be the most significant because it dominated the country on Indian soil for the greatest stretch of time and had its own unique administrative structure. Between the years 1526 and 1707, the Mughals left their impr

Towards the end of the Gupta dynasty there was a resurgence of the old tradition of universities as noticed and described by the Chinese traveller Hsuan-tsang. He has recorded an excellent account of the mahāvihāra and the university at Nālanda. According to Hsuan-tsang students from distant places came to Nālanda for higher studies in all subjects, in

Hiṅgulā is a Śākta goddess associated with underground fire, volcanic activity, and jets of flammable gas on the Makran coast of Pakistan and in Orissa. Her shrine in Makran is the westernmost among the Śākta-pīṭhas. Known to her Muslim devotees as Bībī Nānī, Hiṅglāja (Hiṅgulā) of Makran is connected by some scholars with the Iranian goddess Anāhitā worshipped by the Śakas and Kuṣāṇas and, through the latter, with the Mesopotamian/Elamite/Bactrian goddess Nanā. Hiṅgulā’s Sanskrit name means ‘she of cinnabar’. Cinnabar, hiṅgula, is a reddish ore consisting mainly of red sulphide of mercury (HgS
