God shiva iconography in kushana kingdom of gandharaAdesh Katariya
The visual appearance of Śhiva is based on the iconography of the god Wēś, who is frequently depicted on the reverses of Kuṣāṇa coinage from the time of Vima onwards.
Wēś, as introduced by the Kuṣaṇas, was the outcome of a syncretism by merging attributes of Greek, Roman, native and Iranian deities .Thus, Wēś can be considered an intermediary deity who played a critical role in the formation of Hindu Śiva’s iconography in Gandhāra.
The visual manifestations of the Kuṣāṇa’s Wēś, as depicted on coins and the stone images of the Hindu Śiva from the same period, share strong resemblances.
This document provides information about a sculpture of the Preaching Buddha from Sarnath, India dated to around 500 CE. The sculpture was discovered in 1905 during excavations led by F.O. Oertel and is now displayed in the Sarnath Site Museum. It depicts the Buddha surrounded by his five first disciples as well as a female figure and child. At the center is a depiction of the Dharma wheel. Details such as the short hair, urna, and elongated earlobes identify the figure as the Buddha. The sculpture shows him in the Dharma-chakra-pravartana mudra and provides an example of the artistic style of the Great Sarnath School.
The document discusses the trade routes between India and other regions like Rome during the Sangam period. It mentions that the silk route facilitated trade between China, Central Asia, India and Rome. Chinese silk was popular and traded along this route. The Kushan empire controlled and taxed this lucrative silk trade, gaining gold coins. Romans traded goods like wine and metals to Muziris port in India in return for spices, silk and other commodities. This allowed exchange of culture and wealth between the civilizations.
Vishnu is one of three main Gods, called Tridev.
In ancient Vedic time, he was not a main God but he occupied a central position in classical Hinduism.
Viṣṇu is a protector of the universe and appears in several incarnations to protect both the devotees and the society against adharma “disorder, chaos”.
When the Kuṣāṇas entered Gandhāra, they encountered Brahmanism, Iranian and Greek cults beside a dominant popular Buddhism. This fact is supported by their coins that show images of these cults simultaneously.

Samudragupta was a ruler of the Gupta Empire from around 335-375 CE who ushered in the Golden Age of India. He succeeded his father Chandragupta I and went on extensive military campaigns, conquering most of India. Harishena was a court poet of Samudragupta who composed praises of the king, including on the Allahabad Pillar inscription. Pulakeshin II was a famous ruler of the Chalukya dynasty in the 6th century CE who expanded their kingdom across most of the Deccan region in South India during his reign.
Harshavardhana ruled northern India from 606-647 AD after becoming king at age 14. He faced early challenges from neighboring kings but conquered much of northern India, establishing an empire that stretched from Bengal to Punjab. His greatest military achievement was a stalemate against Pulakesin II of the Chalukyas after two years of fighting. Harshavardhana strongly supported education, reserving a quarter of the empire's income for the renowned Nalanda University, which had over 10,000 students during his reign. The Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang visited India during Harshavardhana's rule and studied at Nalanda before returning to China and writing an account of his travels

In 176 BC, the Yuezhi were driven from Tarim Besin to westward by the Xiongnu, a fierce people of Magnolia.
The Yuezhi under the leadership of the Kushanas came down from Central Asia and swept away all earlier dynasties of the Northwest in a great campaign of conquest. They established an empire which extended from Central Asia right down to the eastern Gangetic basin.
In Bactria, they conquered the Scythians and the local Indo-Greek kingdoms, the last remnants of Alexander the Great's invasion force that had failed to take India.
From this central location, the Kushan Empire became a wealthy trading hub between the peoples of Han China, Sassanid Persia and the Roman Empire.
Roman gold and Chinese silk changed hands in the Kushan Empire, at a very tidy profit for the middle-men.

Unit 4 lesson 2 india history of a civilizationCRCourseDev
Indian civilization can be traced back to 3000 BCE, though its most successful kingdom, the Mauryan Empire, arose around 200 BCE under the leader Asoka. Asoka expanded trade, promoted Buddhism, established hospitals, and brought stability. Subsequent kingdoms like the Kushan Kingdom in the 1st century CE continued expanding Indian trade along the Silk Road between China and Rome. The powerful Gupta Empire arose in 320 CE and presided over a period of prosperity, trade, and cultural achievements before invaders conquered the last strong Indian empire hundreds of years later.
