This NFT featuring, Chandragupta Maurya is the first in the series. Wanna know why?
Chandragupta Maurya, known as Sandrakottos (or Sandrokottos) to the Greeks, was the founder of the Maurya Dynasty (4th-2nd century BCE) and is credited with the setting up of the first (nearly) pan-Indian empire. He was a brave and charismatic—a born leader. The young man came to the attention of a famous Brahmin scholar, Chanakya, who bore a grudge against the Nanda.
Chandragupta’s new empire stretched from what is now Afghanistan in the west to Myanmar (Burma) in the east, and from Jammu and Kashmir in the north to the Deccan Plateau in the south. Today, Chandragupta is remembered as the unifier of India.
When he was in his 50s, Chandragupta became fascinated with Jainism, an extremely ascetic belief system. In 298 BCE, the emperor renounced his rule, handing over power to his son Bindusara. He then traveled south to a cave at Shravanabelogola, now in Karnataka. There, Chandragupta meditated without eating or drinking for five weeks until he died of starvation in a practice known as sallekhana or santhara.
Hope this NFT brings you joy, luck and above all, a great sense of belonging on owning the best & most thought over work which includes rap and art as can be seen. Happy Trading!
