== History == Wardha was included in the empire of the Mauryas, Shungas, Satavahanas, and Vakatakas. Pravarapura, modern Pavnar, was once the capital of the Vakataka dynasty. The Vakatakas were contemporaries of the Imperial Guptas. Prabhavatigupta, the daughter of Chandragupta II (Vikramaditya), was married to the Vakataka ruler Rudrasena. The period of the Vakatakas was from the 2nd to the 5th century CE. The empire stretched from the Arabian Sea in the west to the Bay of Bengal in the east, and from the Narmada River in the north to the Krishna-Godavari delta in the south.
