Xuanzang visited India during the reign of which Indian ruler?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Harshavardhana

Xuanzang, also known as Hiuen Tsang, was a Chinese Buddhist monk and traveller who came to India in the seventh century. His visit took place during the reign of Harshavardhana, a powerful ruler of northern India. Xuanzang studied Buddhism, visited important religious and educational centres, and observed the administration and society of the regions he travelled through. His account is an important source for understanding that period. Therefore, option A is correct.

The other rulers belong to different periods. Ashoka ruled many centuries earlier, while Akbar ruled during the Mughal period much later. Rajaraja Chola was a major ruler of the Chola kingdom in southern India and did not rule during Xuanzang’s Indian journey. Xuanzang’s association with Harsha is especially remembered because Harsha supported learning and religious activities, and the traveller described places such as Kannauj and Nalanda. Thus the supplied answer correctly identifies Harshavardhana.
