It was established after the fall of the Indian Mauryan empire. The capital of the Sungas was Pataliputra. Later kings such as Bhagabhadra also held court at Vidisa, modern Besnagar in Eastern Malwa. [1] The Sunga Empire is noted for its numerous wars with both foreign and indigenous powers. Although very much isn&#039;t known, the Mathura school of art and the works of Patanjali colored North India during this empire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
