Wardha
Wardha is a city and municipal council in Wardha district of the Indian state of Maharashtra. The administrative headquarters of Wardha district is located here. Wardha gets its name from the river Wardha which flows along the northern, western and southern boundaries of the district. Founded in 1866, the city is now an important center for the cotton trade. Wardha was an important part of the Gandhian era.
Wardha was included in the kingdom of the Mauryas, Shungas, Satavahanas and Vakatakas. Pravarapura, present-day Pavnar, was the capital of the Vakataka dynasty. The Vakatakas were contemporaries of the imperial Guptas. Prabhavatigupta, the daughter of Chandragupta II (Vikramaditya), was married to the Vakataka ruler Rudrasena. The period of the Vakatakas took place between the 2nd and 5th centuries AD. The empire stretched from the Arabian Sea in the west to the Bay of Bengal in the east, and from the Narmada River in the north to the Krishna-Godavari delta in the south.
