Description: The Magadha was one of the most prominent and prosperous mahajanapada.

Magadha was ruled by Brihadratha dynasty,Pradyota dynasty,Haryanka dynasty, the Shaishunaga dynasty, and the Mauryan dynasty by the end of it.

In Bogura, Bangladesh, a remarkable discovery was made in the ancient site of Pundranagar, a city dating back to early Bengal civilization. Known for its historical significance, Pundranagar was part of the ancient Pundra kingdom and a center of trade and culture. Recently, archaeologists unearthed a rare collection of Mauryan coins from this site. The coins, bearing inscriptions and symbols characteristic of the Mauryan Empire, suggest a link between Pundranagar and the vast Mauryan trade network, possibly dating back to the 4th century BCE. This coin lot, found alongside pottery and other relics, provides insight into Pundranagars economic and cultural connections. The coins are likely copper or silver, stamped with imperial emblems, which reflect the extensive reach of Mauryan influence across the Indian subcontinent. This discovery highlights Pundranagars role as a significant trading hub and underscores Bangladesh's rich archaeological heritage and connections to early South Asian empires.
