The Empire of Harsha

A part of the Vardhana Dynasty, the emperor Harshavardhana, or Harsha for short (and we can see why) ruled from 606 CE to 647 CE, and during his rule, he acquired over 5,000 elephants and a calvary of 20,000. This made his empire one of the nine biggest empires to ever rule India.

Harsha was also known to be a very humble and practical leader, and he cared for the well-being of his soldiers and subjects.
