The Gupta Period is also popularly known as the Golden Age of India

The lifestyle and culture of the Gupta dynasty is known through the availability of various ancient coins, scriptures, inscriptions, texts, etc. belonging to that era.

Aryabhatta and Varahamihira, the two great mathematicians contributed much during this period in the field of Vedic Mathematics.

Aryabhatta estimated the value of "Pi" to the fourth decimal place. Algebra was developed to a great extent and the concepts of zero and infinity were found.

During the reign of the Gupta rulers, astronomers and philosophers proposed the theory that the earth was not flat but round.

The theory of gravity was also propounded during this time. The astronomers made a breakthrough when they found out the different planets and started to make horoscopes based on the planetary positions. The field of medicine also advanced a lot during this time and doctors used to perform operations even during that era. Since so many discoveries and advances were made in arts, medicine, literature and science during Gupta period, it has been called the Golden Age of India.
