There is a vast number of cities that have held the title of capital of India at various points in history. While we are unable to cover them all because doing so would need writing a whole book, we will take a brief tour “flying over” the various capital changes.

The Nanda dynasty, the Maurya, Gupta, and Pala empires all had their capitals in Ancient Pataliputra, which is now simply a collection of ruins and part of the site of Patna. The legend has it that Gautama Buddha founded it and resided there in the fifth century BC.
