Gupta Period: Golden Age of Ancient India:

The Gupta era in ancient India is referred to as the “Golden Age” because of the enormous advances made in the disciplines of the arts, literature, science, and technology.

Elements of Golden age in Gupta period (320-550 AD)

Polity

With the decline of Mauryan Empire, the unity and integrity of India shattered. The central authority disappeared and regional principalities emerged everywhere.
This trend was reversed by emergence of Gupta rulers in 4th Century AD. They ruled over extensive empire with their capital at Pataliputra.
Therefore, the Gupta age witnessed political unification of India after long period of more than 500 years after the decline of Mauryans.

Economy

Gupta age was full of economic prosperity. According to Chinese traveller Fa-hien Magadh, the power centre of Gupta empire was full of cities and its rich people.
In ancient India, the Guptas issued the largest number of gold coins which were called ‘dinaras’ in their inscriptions.

Art and Literature

Gupta rulers were patrons of art and literature. For example, Samudragupta was represented on his coins playing the vina and Chandragupta II is credited with maintaining in his court nine luminaries.
During the Gupta age beautiful images of Buddha were fashioned at Sarnath and Mathura, but the finest specimens of Buddhist art in Gupta times are the Ajanta paintings. Although these paintings covered the period from the first century BC to the seventh century AD, most of them relate to Gupta times.

Science and Technology

In mathematics, a work called Aryabhatiya was written by Aryabhata in age. Aryabhatta displayed an awareness of both the zero system and the decimal system. A Gupta inscription of 5th century AD from Allahabad suggests that decimal system was known in India.
