The Satavahanas were one of the most prominent post-Mauryan dynasties in ancient India, flourishing approximately between the 1st century BCE and the 3rd century CE. They primarily ruled in the Deccan region, encompassing parts of present-day Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Madhya Pradesh. The dynasty is also known as the Andhras in ancient texts.
