A memorial to Chandragupta Maurya exists on Chandragiri hill in Shravanabelagola, Karnakata.Ĭhandragupta's army was large, well trained and paid directly by the state as suggested by his counsellor Chanakya. During Chandragupta's reign and that of his dynasty, many religions thrived in India, with Buddhism, Jainism and Ajivika gaining prominence along with the Brahmanism traditions. The empire built infrastructure such as irrigation, temples, mines and roads, leading to a strong economy. Chandragupta's India had an efficient, highly organised structure. Chandragupta established a strong central administration from Pataliputra (now Patna). After unifying much of India, Chandragupta and Chanakya passed a series of major economic and political reforms. Chandragupta's empire almost spanned the Indian subcontinent, except the southernmost regions (now Tamil Nadu and Kerala) and Kalinga (now Odisha). Chandragupta expanded into the Indian satraps of the Greek Seleucus I Nicator and secured a marriage alliance.
According to various legends, Chandragupta, with the counsel of his Chief Minister Chanakya (also known as Kautilya), created a new empire, applied the principles of statecraft, built a large army and continued expanding the boundaries of his empire.
