This is a political map of [India](https://www.worldhistory.org/india/) showing the important kingdoms that existed around 625 CE. The predominant powers are the Pushyabhutis under Emperor Harshavardhana or [Harsha](https://www.worldhistory.org/Harsha/) (606-647 CE) in northern India, the (Vatapi) Chalukyas under Emperor Pulakeshin II (609-642 CE) in southern and western India and the Pallavas under successive kings in the extreme south. This was also the period in which the [Gauda kingdom](https://www.worldhistory.org/Gauda_Kingdom/) in eastern India was rising under King Shashanka (c. late 6th century CE - 637 CE).
