(r. 606–647) He was a member of the Pushyabhuti dynasty, whose capital was Kanyakubja in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Harsha is often regarded as the greatest Pushyabhuti
emperor; he ruled over a significant area of northern India and helped restore
the Gupta dynasty's splendor (350–550).
Harsha's reign is extensively recorded historically, thanks
in part to the Chinese pilgrim Hsuan Tsang, whose report provides significant
insight into Indian society at the period.
Harsha was a capable and active king who devoted much of his
final years to assessing the state of his empire.
He was also a well-educated and intellectual guy (he wrote
three Sanskrit plays) whose court was frequented by notable literary people,
like the dramatist Bana.
When he died without an heir, his empire swiftly
disintegrated after his death.
Pushyabhuti dynasty is another name for Pushyabhuti dynasty.
