Explanation

Hiuen Tsang (Xuanzang) visited India during 630-644 CE, which corresponds to the reign of Emperor Harshavardhana (606-647 CE). Harshavardhana ruled North India from his capital at Kannauj and was a patron of Buddhism, which attracted Chinese pilgrims like Hiuen Tsang who came to study Buddhist scriptures and visit sacred sites.
