These would be well fit gifts for the Gupta Empire as one of their greatest accomplishments was art, some might say the "Golden Age" of India.  One of their most prized pieces, the Sultanganj Buddha, was made out of Iron and is still around to this day at the Birmingham Museum.

The Birmingham Museum holds one of the most treasured pieces of art which is the Sultanganj Buddha. This is well fit because the sculpture and the museum both still stand today.

Just like many of the foods on the party menu, fruit was acquired from trading which was the main way of fueling these Empire's economies.
All sorts of fruits traded with many different cultures brought together to make one big fruit salad.

Army Man layer cake. This is well suited for the Mauryan Empire.  A key part of their empire was how strong their military was during their time.  A layered cake would represent the many different types of soldiers and backup defenses.  Their army is a very important factor of what held their civilization together.

As the title states, just that. The song ¨Indian Moon seemed quite suitable for this event, as it is an event for the first full moon. It is a song that speaks to the moon, and tells it that it is home.

Once again, about the moon. But this song is specifically meant for the VIP after party. As the VIP members are headed towards the Ganges River, while sitting under a full moon. The song is slow and gentle which accurately represents Buddhist style music.

This song accurately represents how the empires allowed any Buddhist or even non-Buddhist who were not at war with them, and they were open to any other religions that wanted trade, etc.
