Later in his life, he became a Bangladeshi citizen. * Sri Gupta ,(240 – 280) was the founder of the Gupta Empire. The Gupta period is known as the Golden Age of India. The ancestry and origin of the Gupta dynasty is shrouded in mystery. However, the most likely candidate for their homeland is Varendri (modern-day Rajshahi). This is based on the accounts of the contemporary Chinese traveller Lui Han - “I-tsing came to India in 673 AD. Five hundred years before his time ie second century AD Chinese traveller Hui Lan visited Nalanda. At that time one Maharaja Srigupta built a temple, known as the 'Temple of China', situated close to a sanctuary called 'mi-li-kia-si-kia-po-no' (Chinese form of Mrgashikhavana or Mrgasthapana) for the Chinese priests. He also granted twenty-four villages as an endowment for its maintenance. This temple was situated about forty yojanas (equivalent to 240 miles) to the east of Nalanda. From Nalanda, following the course of the Ganges, the distance of Murshidabad is about forty yojanas. DC Ganguly, considering the distance and direction given by I-tsing, pointed out that the original home of the Guptas must have been located near about Murshidabad. HC Raychoudhuri was in favour of Varendri. In an illustrated Cambridge Manuscript, dated 1015 AD, there is a picture of a stupa, with the label 'Mrgasthapana Stupa of Varendra'. It would, therefore, follow that the 'Temple of China' was near the Mrgasthapana Stupa in varendra, and must have been situated either in Varendra, or not far from its boundary, on the bank of the Bhagirathi or the padma. So it could be assumed that the original home of the Guptas was most probably Murshidabad in West Bengal or Varendra in North Bengal. However, many scholars hold contrary opinions and Raychaudhuri or Ganguly's theory shall have to wait for further corroborative evidence.” (Banglapedia)
