Detailed explanation-1: -In the 7th century, after the death of Emperor Harsha, India entered into a period of political turmoil. The following centuries saw the rise and fall of various dynasties, each leaving its mark on the ancient history of India.
Detailed explanation-2: -After ruling over most parts of North India for more than 40 years, Harsha died in 647 C.E. Since he did not have any heirs his empire collapsed and disintegrated rapidly into small states. The demise of King Harshavardhana marked the end of the mighty Vardhana dynasty.
Detailed explanation-3: -Harsha, also spelled Harṣa, also called Harshavardhana, (born c. 590 ce-died c. 647), ruler of a large empire in northern India from 606 to 647 ce. He was a Buddhist convert in a Hindu era.
Detailed explanation-4: -However, Harsha’s plans to conquer lands to the south were hampered when the Chalukya king, Pulakesin II defeated Harsha in 618-619 A.D. This sealed Harsha’s southern territorial limit as the Narmada River.
