Where was Magadha situated?
In ancient times Magadha was an important city of India because it was the centre of cultural change. The kings who ruled Magadha in the 7th century BC were enterprising. It was the seat of the Brihadratha dynasty, Pradyota dynasty, Shishunaga dynasty, Nanda Dynasty, Maurya Empire, Shunga Dynasty, Kanva Dynasty and the Gupta dynasty. Magadha formed one of the sixteen Mahajanapadas or regions in ancient India. Magadha covers the portion of Bihar lying south of the Ganges, with its capital at Rajgir. With the conquest of Licchavi and Anga, the kingdom of Magadha expanded to include Bihar and Bengal. The capital of Magadha was Rajgriha but in the later ages the capital of Magadha was Pataliputra. Location of Magadha Magadha was situated in the eastern division of the nine portions into which the sub-continent of India was divided. Magadha was bounded by the Ganges on the north, by the district of Varanasi on the west, by Hiranyaparvata or Monghyr on the east, and by Kirana Supavana or Singhbhum on the south. Magadha was a narrow strip of country of some considerable length from north to south, and of an area greater than that of Kosala. Just as Kosala corresponded very nearly to the present province of Oudh, but was somewhat larger, so Magadha corresponded at the time of Lord Buddha to the modern district of Patna, but with the addition of the northern half of the modern district of Gaya. The inhabitants of this region used to call it Maga, a name doubtless derived from Magadha.
