All over the country there were schools and colleges, and the people, in general, were well educated. The universities of Nalanda in Bihar and Valabhi in western India were the most famous educational institutions in the country. There were other universities, too, particularly at Kashi (Banaras), Uddandapura and Vikramasila in Bihar, and some other holy places in northern and southern India. There was a big Sanskrit college at Dhar in Malwa and another at Ajmer. There were colleges of astronomy and other sciences also. Besides the Vedas and other religious literature and Puranas and Dharmashastra, other subjects, such as science, astronomy and medicine, were taught in most of these colleges and universities.
