Map of Bharat Varsha: Great India During the Mahabharata

Posted on January 14, 2007

In my travels on the web, I found an excellent map of Greater Bharat(India) from the time of the Mahabharata. It shows, in detail, the name of the various cities/towns/settlements and mountain ranges and kingdoms from way, way back. The map itself claims that the period is around the 6th century BC, but the historical accuracy might be questionable. Suffice it to say that this map will help you understand where the different kingdoms and places mentioned in the Mahabharata were located.

    The Indian Ocean isn’t called Indian Ocean??? What is that thing?! (Although in antiquity, maybe it wasn’t called that.)

    Interesting map, though. Where did you get this, anyway?

    “that” = “Indian Ocean”, by the way.

    I am very happy to see this map specially with today India’s map.Now I can compare recent places with ancient places. My main interest in Lord Shree Krishna and Mahabharat.
    Thank you very much.

    We have workshops about Mahabharat happening for children at Dhaatu. This map will be an extremely useful teaching aide. Thank you.
