Detailed Solution

The kingdom of Magadha emerged on the banks of Ganga.
North-eastern India is where the former kingdom of India, called Magadha, is located. It served as the foundation for several larger kingdoms or empires between the sixth and eighth centuries after the Common Era. The strategic location of Magadha in the Ganges (Ganga) River valley, which allowed it to dominate communication and trade on the river, may account for its early significance. Additionally, the river served as a conduit between Magadha and the prosperous ports in the Ganges delta. Under the Mauryan dynasty, which ruled from the fourth to the second century BCE, the empire of Magadha continued to rule practically the whole Indian subcontinent. Magadha saw a downturn in the first century CE, but the Gupta dynasty's ascent in the fourth century brought it back to prominence.
