Samudragupta's mother belonged to which of the following gana?

Lichchhavi

The correct answer is Option 2- Lichchhavi

Samudragupta's mother, Kumaradevi, was a princess of the Lichchhavi gana. The Lichchhavis were a powerful clan that ruled over the Vaishali republic in Bihar. They were known for their military prowess, their political acumen, and their cultural sophistication.

The Allahabad Pillar inscription, which was written by Samudragupta's court poet Harishena, states that Kumaradevi was the daughter of the Lichchhavi king Chandragupta. She married Chandragupta I, the founder of the Gupta Empire, and gave birth to Samudragupta, who became one of the greatest rulers in Indian history.
