The Kanva dynasty replaces the Sunga dynasty in Magadha, and rules in the eastern part of India from 75 BCE to 26 BCE.

The last ruler of the Sunga dynasty is overthrown by Vasudeva of the Kanva dynasty in 75 BCE.

The Kanva ruler allows the kings of the Sunga dynasty to continue to rule in obscurity in a corner of their former dominions.

Magadha is ruled by four Kanva rulers.

Little is known about the Kanvas; however, their dynasty is brought to an end by the Satavahanas of the south.
