Harishena

Ruler of the Vakataka dynasty in India

Harishena was the last known ruler of the Vatsagulma branch of the Vakataka dynasty. He succeeded his father Devasena. Harishena was a great patron of Buddhist architecture, art and culture, with the World Heritage monument of Ajanta being his greatest legacy. He is also credited with many conquests.

Harishena is read about 11 times a day, in 7 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 18 August 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
