Clearly marks the Harsha Empire's extent (c. 606–647 CE): covering Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and parts of Madhya Pradesh, with influence stretching from Assam in the east to Kashmir in the northwest, south to the Narmada River.
The capital city (Kannauj), earlier seat (Thanesar), and major cities like Prayaga (Allahabad) are highlighted, along with boundaries of direct and feudatory control.
Visualizes alliances, notable campaigns (e.g., conflict with the Chalukya king Pulakeshin II at the Narmada), and areas of cultural importance (Nalanda, patronage to Buddhism and Hinduism).
May illustrate the legacy of Harsha’s reign: feudal structure, prosperity, support of arts (with Banabhatta as court poet), charitable taxation, and encouragement of scholarship (notably hosting the Chinese traveler Xuanzang).
