Question

sources of information about the Gupta's age

Answer 1

The Gupta Empire was an ancient Indian empire, existing from the mid-to-late 3rd century CE to 590 CE. At its zenith, from approximately 319 to 550 CE, it covered much of the Indian subcontinent.[2] This period is called the Golden Age of India by some historians,[3] although this characterization has been disputed by others.[4] The ruling dynasty of the empire was founded by the king Gupta; the most notable rulers of the dynasty were Chandragupta I, Samudragupta, and Chandragupta II. The 5th-century CE Sanskrit poet Kalidasa credits the Guptas with having conquered about twenty-one kingdoms, both in and outside India, including the kingdoms of Parasikas, the Hunas, the Kambojas, tribes located in the west and east Oxus valleys, the Kinnaras, Kiratas, and others.[5][non-primary source needed]
