Which is the grandest Ancient kingdom with largest empire from India?

Question

Which ancient empire or dynasty is of proud India in its legacy , rich heritage, art, culture and history.

Answer 1

The Ashokas cannot actualy be identified as an empire because they are local champions domesticated to rule almost all of India except the tip of Tamil nadu but.

The CHOLAS of Tamils conquered and either ruled or influenced Srilanka, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand Cambodia and Indonesia. Thats an empire - when you rule not Ur own nation completely but conquer other nations - thats an empire ( eg: british empire). Until today the legacy culture and the tamil people are still there - expecialy in Sri lanka, malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia

Almost all ancient temples in sri lanka are the CHOLAS, there are several CHOLA temples in Malaysia ( eg: srivijaya and so), then the great CHOLA BOROBUDUR sivan temple in Indonesia or the great great Prambanan temple complex in JAVA by CHOLA, Angkor WAT in Cambodia and so almsot all have ancient tamil Brahmi inscription of the chola empire and sacred mantra inscriptions in sanskrit.

Answer 8

Sadly, only 'sr50kandala' came up with the answer. How could you guys forget Emperor 'Bharat', son of Dushyanta. The whole indo asian sub continent was united during his regime. The whoel territory was known as 'Bharatavarsha'. Dushyant himself had a vast empire. The earliest descendant of Puru to leave a significant mark on Hindu mythology was Dushyant. Dushyant is famous for his affair with Shakuntala, the daughter of Menaka the apsara and sage Visvamitra. Dushyant meets Shakuntala while on a hunt and marries her according to the Gandharva tradition. He consummates the marriage and leaves for his capital. He gives Shakuntala his ring as a token of remembrance. A son is born to Shakuntala. When Shakuntala does not hear from Dushyant she takes her son to the capital. She loses the ring on the way. Dushyant fails to recognise her. Shakuntala takes her son to her mother in heaven. Later a fisherman gives Dushyant the ring that Shakuntala had lost and he remembers everything. He goes to heaven and sees a boy grappling with a lion. This is his son, Bharat. Shakuntala refuses to return to Dushyant but allows Bharat to go with him. After Dushyant Bharat becomes the King.

Vaivaswat Manu had ten sons and one daughter (Bhag. 8/13/1-3 and 9/1/11,12,16). The eldest son was Ikchvaku. Kaushal (Ayodhya) was the kingdom of Ikchvaku dynasty. A main branch of this family succession was called ‘Surya Vansh.’ His daughter’s name was Ela who gave birth to a son named Pururva from the celestial god Budh, the son of Som or Chandra Deo (Bhag. 9/1/35). Later on this family was called ‘Som Vansh or Chandra Vansh.’ Bhakt Ambarish was the grandson of Nabhag who was the son of Vaivaswat Manu.
In the family succession of Ikchvaku, Mandhata, Satyavrat (Trishanku), Harish Chandra and his son Rohit, Sagar, Aushuman, Dileep and Bhagirath, who brought Ganga on the earth planet, are notable; and also Khatwang who realized God in only 45 minutes before his death. Khatwang’s son Raghu, his son Aj and his son Dashrath; his son Bhagwan Ram, and Lav and Kush, are the main Divine personalities who really established the greatness of Surya Vansh in the world.
The family succession of Lav and Kush runs up to the Mahabharat war when Brihadbal was killed by Abhimanyu. This family succession goes further up to Sumitra where the Ikchvaku succession ends. (It’s all described in the ninth canto of the Bhagwatam.)
In the distant family succession of Pururva, there is a description of Maharishi Jamdagni whose son Parashuram killed Sahasrabahu Arjun of Haihai family. There is also an account of Sage Shaunak and Yayati of Nahush family.
In the Chandra Vansh family succession, the important personalities are, Dushyant, his son Bharat, and Bharadwaj. In the lineage of Bharadwaj, King Hasti established Hastinapur. His son Ajmeedh had many sons. In one of his son’s family succession were Drupad, Dropadi and Dhristdyumn; and in the other son’s family succession Kuru was important who lived in Kurukchetra. Kuru had four sons.
From here, the family succession of Kuru branches out in two very important sections. In the fifth generation of his son Sudhanva was Brihadrath who established the kingdom of Magadh. His son Jarasandh was killed in Mahabharat war by Bheemsen. In the twelfth generation of his other son Jahnu was Shantanu who was the King of Hastinapur.
Shantanu had three sons. Bhishm from Ganga (he always remained single) and Chitrangad and Vichitravirya from Satyavati, who was also the godmother of Bhagwan Ved Vyas. Chitrangad had no child and Vichitravirya died at an early age. So, on the request of Queen Satyavati, Ved Vyas Divinely caused both wives to conceive just by sight. They gave birth to Pandu who had five sons called the Pandavas, and Dhritrashtra who had hundred sons called the Kauravas (the eldest of whom was Duryodhan). They fought the Mahabharat war.
After winning the Mahabharat war, Yudhishthir, the elder brother of the Pandavas, ruled Hastinapur for 36 years and 8 months, and after the ascension of Bhagwan Krishn to His Divine abode, the Pandavas also travelled to the north and left their body in the Himalayas. Kaliyug started immediately after the ascension of Krishn (Bhag. 12/2/33) in 3102 BC.
Parikchit the grandson of Arjun became the king, who, after the 30th year of his reign (in 3072 BC), left this world after listening to the Bhagwatam. His son was Janmejaya. The dynasty of Chandra Vansh ended with Chemak and then other dynasties ruled Hastinapur.
The kingdom of Magadh remained in power up to the end of Gupt dynasty (83 BC). In the family succession of Brihadrath, Marjari (the grandson of Jarasandh) became the king of Magadh after the Mahabharat war in 3139 BC.
