Detailed Solution

Harshavardhana became the king of Thanesar after both his father and elder brother died. After the collapse of the Gupta Empire, the Pushyabhuti dynasty, often referred to as the Vardhana dynasty, rose to prominence. At the age of 16, Harshavardhana succeeded his brother as the unquestioned ruler of Thanesar (modern-day Haryana). It was one of the biggest Indian empires of the seventh century CE. The empire reached as far east as Kamarupa and continued to the Narmada river. It is stated that his empire encompassed the whole Indo-Gangetic plain as well as the modern states of Orissa, Bengal, and Punjab. His brother-in-law was the great king of Kannauj, but he was assassinated by the ruler of Bengal, prompting Harsha to take over the kingdom of Kannauj as well.
