Gupta Empire and Pala Empire

The Gupta Empire was an Indian empire during the classical period of the Indian subcontinent which existed from the mid 3rd century to mid 6th century CE. At its peak, the dynasty ruled over an empire that spanned much of the northern Indian subcontinent. This period has been considered as the Golden Age of India by some historians, although this characterisation has been disputed by others. The ruling dynasty of the empire was founded by Gupta.

The Pāla Empire was an early medieval Indian empire ruled by the Pāla (Prakrit and Sanskrit: पाल, romanized: Pāla, lit. 'protector') dynasty. The empire was founded with the election of Gopāla by the chiefs of Gauda in the late 8th century CE. The Pala stronghold was located in Bengal and Bihar, which included the major cities of Gauḍa, Vikramapura, Pāṭaliputra, Monghyr, Somapura, Ramavati (Varendra), Tāmralipta and Jagaddala.
