Kanishka I, or Kanishka the Great, was an emperor of the Kushan dynasty in the second century (c. AD 127–150). He is famous for his military, political, and spiritual achievements. He was a Kushan of probable Yuezhi ethnicity. Kanishka was a great conqueror and a successful warrior.
Kanishka led various expeditions and was offered loyalty by The Saka Satraps in Gujrat and Malwa in Rajputana. Kashmir was also a part of his territory. His Central Asian possessions included Bactria, Afghanistan, Kashgarh, Yearkhand, and Khoan.
His coins have been found in Mathura and Benaras.
Kanishka's personal faith was Buddhism. The Buddhists claim that Kanishka was almost like a second Asoka to their religion.
His court was graced by well-known scholars like Asvaghosha, Nagarjuna, Parsva, Vasumitra, and Charaka.
He was also a liberal patron of Indian art and literature. The famous Gandhara School of arts and the Mathura style of art and the relic tower monastery built at Purushapura (Peshawar) is a standing evidence of his notable artistic achievements.
The dynasty of Kanishka opened the way for Indian civilization to Central and Eastern Asia.
