Answer 1

Answer:

The Satavahanas, Sādavāhana or Sātavāhana,[2] IAST: Sātavāhana), also referred to as the Andhras in the Puranas, were an ancient Indian dynasty based in the Deccan region.

At different times, their rule extended to parts of modern Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka. The dynasty had different capital cities at different times, including Koti Lingala Jagtial District Telangana, Pratishthana (Paithan) and Amaravati (Dharanikota).
