The correct answer is

Thanesar, Kanauj

The correct answer is Thanesar, Kanauj.

Harshavardhana, a prominent emperor of the early 7th century CE, initially established his capital at Thaneshwar (Thanesar) in present-day Haryana, India. Later, he shifted his capital to Kannauj (Kanauj) in present-day Uttar Pradesh, India. This move strategically positioned him in a more central and fertile region, facilitating better control and governance over his vast empire. The shift signifies a significant phase in Harsha's reign and his administration.
