https://mocomi.com/ presents- The Vedic Age in India
The Vedic Age was the time when the Aryans settled in India. Their villages set the basis for architecture in India. It was the period in which the Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, were composed.
The Aryan invaders were primarily nomads. They were not accustomed to the urban way of life and therefore did not occupy the beautiful cities they had conquered. Instead, they cleared forests near riverbanks and settled in small villages, or Gramas, becoming semi-agriculturists. Perhaps, their fear of permanent dwellings prevented them from moving into the cities. Each Grama was headed by a Gramini.
The Aryan villages were simple structures, which formed the basis for architecture in India. In fact, the caves of Ajanta and Ellora were influenced by early Aryan villages. Their huts were very basic, circular and with thatched roofs over bamboo logs. Fences of wood and bamboo surrounded the settlement for protection against wild animals.
Soon the demand for fertile land grew and rivalry spread. Groups of villages joined forces and thus small ‘cities’ or clans called ‘Vis’ were born. A group or clan formed a Jana and their leader was the Rajan or King. A priest or Purohit, the commandant or Senani, and the administration, Sabha and Samiti, assisted him.
