Life Under the Guptas
Life Under the Guptas: During the life in the Gupta period, the King was the head of the administration. With the help of his ministers the King had to rule following the set principles of Rajya Dharma.
Administration: The empire was divided into a number of provinces or bhuktis. They were placed under governors or uparikas. The provinces were further subdivided into districts or vishayas which were headed by Vishayapatis. Bigger cities were administered by ayuktas, who were appointed by the governor. These ayuktas were assisted by town clerks. Many taxes were levied on lands-one-fourth to one-sixth of the land revenue was collected as tax high-ranking officials were probably paid in cash but over period of time, land grants replaced cash payments. This practice of ‘feudalism’ in India.
Economic Life: The principal occupations of the life in the Gupta Period comprised of ivory work, mettle work, pottery, pearl fishing, garland making, weaving. The members of these above mentioned professions were organized into Guilds (Sreni) that were corporate bodies set up by members of a particular trade to perform important economic functions.

Religion: Religion gained importance in the Gupta period. Though the rulers were Hindu, they were tolerant towards other faiths. A great transformation or change provided the base for modern Hinduism. Idols were sculpted of gods and goddesses and worshipped in temples.

The university at Nalanda, the most famous centre of Buddhist learning, was founded by kumara Gupta Mahendraditya.
