Detailed Solution

The city that became the second capital of the Kushanas around 2000 years ago was Mathura. Mathura was the second capital for the Kushanas because it was the major trade centre from the northwest to the east and north to south. Many fortifications, as well as Jain and Buddhist shrines, were found in Mathura. It was the major Lord Krishna worship centre, and many kings and queens had inscriptions about Mathura in their engraved pillars. Many inscriptions found in Mathura also provide evidence about the gifts received from various other kings and queens.
