The Abhira Kingdom in the Mahabharata is either of two kingdoms near the Sarasvati river. It was dominated by the Abhiras, sometimes referred to as Surabhira[1][2][3] also, combining both Sura and Abhira kingdoms. Modern day Abhira territory lies within Northern areas of Gujarat and Southern Rajasthan, India.[4]
The Suras and Abhiras' are associated together in the Mahābhārata and Harivansa and appear to have been a pastoral people in the upper portion of the north-western Panjāb represented by the Ahirs and Gwalas of the present day.
