He had a place with the Pushyabhuti additionally called the Vardhana administration. He was a Hindu who later grasped Mahayana Buddhism. Harsha had a sister, Rajyashri who was hitched to ruler Grahavarman of Kannauj. Sasanka, the Gauda lord slaughtered Grahavarman and kept Rajyashri detained. This incited Rajyavardhana to battle against Sasanka. This drove the 16-year old Harshavardhana to climb the seat of Thanesar in 606 AD. Nevertheless, Harsha's arrangements to overcome grounds toward the south were hampered when the Chalukya ruler, Pulakesin II crushed Harsha in 618-619 A.D.
