Soon the process of rebuilding Magadh had begun. Bhagi knew before anything, the praja needed to be self-Reliable.

As the sun began its ascent over the sprawling landscape of Magadh, a sense of hope and determination had filled the air. The city had been ravaged by conflicts but now, in the rule of Indrasen, the people of Magadh were determined to restore the heart and soul of their beloved city.

The early morning hustle and bustle in the market square marked a new beginning. According to Bhagi's wish lord Vishwakarma had started teaching various arts to the people of Magadh. Bhagi had began teaching Medicines under her disguise as well as warfare. She had employed her senapati for training her army to be best. Her sabha had members which were representative of each member class of praja and were personally selected by Bhagi and Chalukya ji.

Day be Day seeing the brilliance of new Maharaj, Chalukya ji was becoming sure that their Magadh had been blessed. After years of struggle Magadh had been rewarded for its struggle. Bhagi had talked with Asur's and tribes in the neighbouring areas and had convinced them to join Magadha. The people although were scared at first but soon they had started accepting them seeing as they were protected by the Maharaj. The assassins that had tried to attack had become part of Bhagi's special army. The royal treasury had increased in size and soon 6 months had passed and Bhagi had opened the borders of Magadh.

Soon enough Magadh had become a super power standing toe to toe with Hastinapur and that of dwarka. It had became a center of Quality artworks ranging from Beautiful clothes and various arts due to which Traders from across the region had begun to gather and offer a vibrant array of goods, from exotic spices to intricate handicrafts. The scents of freshly brewed chai mingled with the laughter of children, had created an atmosphere of conviviality that had been absent for far too long.

At the center of the square stood a statue of Sage Vishwamitra, a reminder of Magadh's rich spiritual heritage. Local artists had meticulously restored the statue, its vibrant colors and intricate detailing a testament to their dedication. Devotees and curious travelers alike paused to admire the artwork, feeling a renewed connection to the city's past.

Nearby, a group of musicians tuned their instruments and warmed up their vocal cords. As the first notes of a melodic raga resonated through the air, a small crowd began to gather. The power of music transcended time, and it was a crucial element in the effort to rebuild Magadh's cultural vibrancy. People swayed and clapped, allowing the melodies to transport them to a place of serenity and joy.

Dancers draped in colorful attire gracefully moved to the rhythm, their choreography reflecting the diverse cultural influences that had shaped Magadh throughout its history. Their movements seemed to tell a story of resilience and determination, capturing the essence of the city's spirit.

In a corner of the square, a gathering of scholars engaged in animated discussions. Ancient manuscripts were spread out before them, their pages filled with knowledge waiting to be rediscovered. They exchanged ideas on philosophy, science, and literature, rekindling the intellectual fire that had once burned brightly in Magadh's academic circles. The schools built were filled with students . There was no age range. Old and young everybody studies there.

There was also an orphanage where old people who didn't have any support lived. It was co joined with child orphanage which helped a lot as the old people used to teach the young ones about the knowledge they have, and children helped the elders feel less lonely. One of the greatest achievements bhagi made was that there were many women who had joined schools and were learning. Many had also participated to learn warfare especially in Ang. Bhagi had appointed a person to look over Ang till she finds a Maharaj for it.

As the day progressed, a procession of artisans made their way to the riverside. Skilled hands meticulously carved intricate designs onto massive stone slabs. These slabs would soon adorn the city's temple. Bhagi had planned to make a huge shiv Parvati temple carved out of a huge mountain. It would be the largest in the whole aryavarat. She herself in night used to work on carving of stones.

Amidst the activities, Bhagi moved from group to group, offering words of encouragement and support. Her vision for Magadh's revival went beyond physical structures; it was about reviving the city's soul and spirit. She believed that the key to rebuilding Magadh lay not just in bricks and mortar, but in fostering a sense of unity, pride, and cultural renaissance among its citizens.

As the sun began its descent, the vibrant energy of the day transitioned into a peaceful twilight. The echoes of music and laughter faded, leaving behind a city that was no longer defined by its scars, but by its determination to rise again.

As time passed, Bhagi was standing at the riverbank, gazing across the water. In her eyes, the reflection of a city rebuilt with love, dedication, and a renewed commitment to preserving its heritage was visible. The road ahead was challenging, but the people of Magadh knew that as long as they stood united their new king would guide them towards a brighter future.
