POST-MAURYAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE
After the decline of the Mauryan Empire, several regional powers emerged, notably:
1.Northern and Central India: Shungas, Kanvas, Kushanas, and Guptas.
2.Southern and Western India: Satvahanas, Ikshavakus, Abhiras, and Vakataks.
These dynasties not only maintained but also expanded their influence, contributing to the diverse cultural and political mosaic of ancient India.
