The Gupta Age

The Kushan power in north India came to an end around AD 230 and then a good part of central India fell under the rule of the Murundas, who were possibly the kinsmen of the Kushans. The Murundas continued to rule till AD 250. In about AD 275, the Gupta dynasty came to power. Their origin is obscure. The first two kings of this dynasty-Sri Gupta and Ghatotkacha-were satisfied with the title Maharaja.
