Question

Describe the central and provincial administration of gupta empire

Answer 1

Explanation:

The territories directly ruled over by the Gupta dynasty were divided into the administrative units of bhuktis. The bhuktiswere administered by officials called the uparikaswho were in fact royally appointed governors. Bhuktis were further divided into the administrative sub-units of vishayaswhich were looked after by the officials called vishaypatis. The vishayas were also further divided into still smaller units of administration. This pattern was only existent in the lands directly controlled by the Guptas. Other regions, especially in central and western India had different fiscal and administrative units like desa, mandala, bhoga, etc.
