TheMaurya Empire (c. 322–185 BCE) was anancient Indian empire. Theempire was founded byChandragupta Maurya in 322 BCE and lasted until 185 BCE. The Mauryan Empire was the first pan-Indian empire. At its height, the empire covered most of theIndian subcontinent.^[3] The Mauryan Emperor was the monarchical head of state and wielded absolute rule over the empire.

Chandragupta's chiefminister Chanakya, sometimes calledKautilya, advised Chandragupta Maurya and contributed to the empire's legacy.^[4]Bindusara, Chandragupta's son, assumed the throne around 297 BCE. He kept the empire running smoothly while maintaining its lands.^[5] Bindusara's son,Ashoka,^[6] was the third leader of the Mauryan Empire. Ashoka left his mark on history by erectinglarge stone pillars inscribed with edicts that he issued. After Ashoka's death, his family continued to reign, but the empire began to break apart. The last of the Mauryas,Brihadratha, was assassinated by hisSenapati,Pushyamitra Shunga who went on to found theShunga Empire in 185 BCE.^[7]
