Answer:
The Mahajanapadas were a set of sixteen kingdoms that existed in ancient India. It all began when the tribes (janas) of the late Vedic period decided to form their own territorial communities, which eventually gave rise to new and permanent areas of settlements called ‘states’ or ‘janapadas.
These 16 city states are known as Mahajanapadas. These were Anga, Asmaka, Avanti, Chedi, Gandhara, Kashi, Kamboja, Kosala, Kuru, Magadha, Malla, Machha, Panchala, Surasena, Vriji, and Vatsa. Avanti kingdom was in the territory of present Madhya Pradesh state. Ujjain was the capital of Avanti.
