Which Chinese pilgrim visited India during the reign of Harshavardhana?
हर्षवर्धन के काल में भारत आने वाले चीनी तीर्थयात्री कौन था?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Xuanzang/ह्वेन त्सांग
Explanation :
The famous Chinese Buddhist pilgrim Xuanzang visited India during the reign of Harshavardhana in the 7th century CE (around 630–645 CE).
He stayed in India for many years and visited famous centers of learning such as Nalanda University. He wrote the book Great Tang Records on the Western Regions, which provides valuable information about India during Harsha’s rule.
Why other options are wrong:
- Faxian (Fa-Hien/फाह्यान) visited India during the reign of Chandragupta II, not Harshavardhana.
- Hething / Wang-Huya → These are not known Chinese pilgrims related to Indian history.
प्रसिद्ध चीनी बौद्ध यात्री Xuanzang (ह्वेन त्सांग) Harshavardhana के शासनकाल में भारत आया था। वह लगभग 630–645 ई. के बीच भारत में रहा।
उसने Nalanda University जैसे प्रसिद्ध शिक्षा केंद्रों का दौरा किया और अपनी यात्रा का विवरण Great Tang Records on the Western Regions में लिखा।
Extra Fact:
Harshavardhana organized a grand religious assembly at Prayagraj (then called Prayag) every five years, which Xuanzang attended.
