The tremendous artistic creativity of the Mathura school coincides with the reign of Śaka-Kushāṇas. The influence which these rulers exercised on the political and cultural history of Mathura is shown by the discovery of their inscriptions and of a Devakula or a Hall of royal statues at Māṭ, a village about nine miles north of Mathura which yielded the life-sife partraits of Vema Takshma, Kanishka and Chashṭana.
