Gupta Dynasty was one of the ancient Indian empires that ruled during 240 to 550 CE in Northern, Central as well as Western Parts of India. The decline of the Gupta kingdom in the 6th Century AD Slowly and gradually led to the growth of many small kingdoms. In this process, certain regions witnessed the emergence of new kingdoms; and in other regions, the erstwhile Gupta vassals freed themselves from the sovereignty of the Guptas, founding independent kingdoms.
