Line 144:

Pukhgundi's prominence, known then as the Kingdom of Pondichundie, began with the ascension of Arun, leader of the Tripathee clan and commander of the Pukhgandi Barsom. Arun's strategic prowess and ambition led to the consolidation of power in the region, laying the foundation for the Arunid dynasty. Under his leadership, the city quickly grew into a regional powerhouse, setting the stage for centuries of expansion and influence. The Kingdom of Pondichundie flourished as a cosmopolitan center, drawing in diverse cultures, religions, and languages from across the empire. The city's architecture, art, and literature reflected a unique blend of Pukhti, Persian, and Istroyan influences. As a major trade hub, it connected merchants from distant lands, facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas across the known world. The Arunid rulers left an enduring legacy on Pukhgundi. Their investment in infrastructure, such as roads, irrigation systems, and education centers, laid the groundwork for the region's future development. The empire's emphasis on social welfare and religious tolerance fostered a harmonious society, evident in the architectural remains and historical records. Despite its initial prosperity, Kingdom of Pondichundie, along with the rest of the Arunid Empire, faced challenges in the later centuries. The rise of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] and internal pressures led to a gradual decline. The Battle of Neshapur in 884 CE marked the final chapter, with the empire's dissolution and the absorption of its territories into the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]].
