Explanation:

Later Vedic Period or Painted Grey Ware Phase (1000 BC – 600 BC) During this time, the Aryans moved eastwards and occupied western and eastern UP (Kosala) and Bihar. Political structure: Kingdoms like Mahajanapadas were formed by amalgamating smaller kingdoms. King’s power increased and various sacrifices were performed by him to enhance his position. Sacrifices were Rajasuya (consecration ceremony), Vajapeya (chariot race) and Ashwamedha (horse sacrifice). The Sabhas and Samitis diminished in importance.
