The city was founded by the Pundra Kingdom in the 4th century BC, and it quickly became a major commercial and cultural center. During the Maurya Empire, it was also a major center of Buddhism. It was later ruled by a succession of different dynasties, including the Gupta Empire and the Pala Empire. The city began to decline in the 7th century AD, and it was eventually abandoned in the 12th century AD.
