About
Eran is an ancient town and archaeological site in the Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh, India. It was one of the ancient mints for Indian dynasties, as evidenced by the diverse coins excavated here. The site has 5th and 6th-century Gupta era temples and monuments, particularly the colossal stone boar with sages, and scholars depicted on the body of the sculpture. The inscription stones found at Eran are important for reconstructing the chronology of the Gupta Empire's history.
