Detailed Solution

The given statement is True.
The Kosala Kingdom (Sanskrit: Kosala) was an ancient Indian kingdom with a rich culture corresponding to the area of the Awadh region. It emerged as a small state at the end of the Vedic period, with ties to the neighbouring Videha kingdom. Kosala belonged to the Northern Negro culture (c. 700–300 BC), and the Kosala region gave rise to the Sramana movements, including Jainism and Buddhism. It is culturally distinct from the Painted Grey Ware culture of the Vedic Kuru-Panchala period to its west, following independent development towards urbanisation and the use of ironwork. Ikshvaku and his heirs made Ayodhya the Kosala capital, according to the Puranas and the epic Ramayana. Shravasti was the capital of Kosala during the Mahajanapada period (6th - 5th centuries BC), but the late Maurya kings (2nd - 1st centuries BC) issued their coins from Ayodhya.
