Haryanka dynasty
The Haryanka dynasty ruled the Kingdom of Magadha in the Ganges valley in the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, according to Buddhist and Jain sources. Bimbisara and his son Ajatashatru, contemporaries of the Buddha and Mahavira, expanded the kingdom by conquest and marriage, and Udayin moved the capital to Pataliputra. The Shishunaga dynasty replaced it.
