Explanation:
The typical house during the time of the Gupta empire was made of bamboo or wood with a thatched roof. Many home had only one room, although two rooms or more were not uncommon. Even the nobles and kings lived in wooden houses and palaces.
A Gupta village was a noisy place. The streets were narrow with houses on both sides and businesses set up in stalls in the street. People and animals both wandered through it. The smell of cooking filled the air as food venders sold their wares.
Craftsmen practiced their arts in the villages and worked in iron and copper. Their iron was of such quality that statues from them exist today with very little rust. Artists produced great works of literature, but sculpture was what they did best.
Most people were farmers and wheat was the main crop, but they did keep cows for milk. Besides their normal daily jobs, people were expected to work for the king or ruler every year for a period of time. But unlike other places, the people of the Gupta period were paid for their time. They might work on building or fixing roads, or digging and dredging canals. It was work that benefited all of the people.
The Gupta empire did not have banks like we do today. In some areas the women wore the family fortune as jewelry.
Gupta mathematicians and scientists were quite accomplished. They figured out that the earth revolved around the sun and computed the exact length of a year. They also invented the base 10 math system we use today, and invented the decimal point to measure sums less then one.
In the earlier part of the Gupta empire, meals were both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. With the rise of Buddhism, vegetarian meals became the norm for about one half of the people. They grew and ate the various grains as both cereals and breads, with many different types of vegetables, fruits and nuts. They also drank milk from cows and goats.
Some children did go to school. These schools were called Ashrams. In the ashram, there were no servants. You had to do everything for yourself. Children studied math, science, literature, music and religion, as well as learning how to read and write. Some also learned how to take care of themselves by cooking, cleaning and washing clothes.
In the Gupta empire, there were three different types of marriage. Swayamvara was when the bride selected her spouse from a group of young men gathered outside her house. Gandharva Vivaha was the love marriage. Asura Vivaha was marriage by abduction (elopement). Some marriages were arranged by the parents, but this was unusual and mostly occurred within the Nobles.
