I'm attempting to build a hypothesis about the Gupta Empire of classical India, and am interested in understanding monsoon and temperature levels. Tree rings, Himalayan ice cores, any leads would be great!
Thank you, much appreciated! Would you happen to know of any studies which focus on climate/monsoon fluctuations at a more granular level? Most of the observations of this paper are focussed on broader geological timescales.

Dear Anirudh,
You will find a lot of papers based on the past 2000 yrs of climate history in India. Few of them
1. Yadava and Ramesh 2005: Monsoon reconstruction from radiocarbon-dated tropical Indian speleothems
2. Sinha et al., 2011: The leading mode of Indian Summer Monsoon precipitation variability during the last millennium
3. Sinha et al., 2015: Trends and oscillations in the Indian summer monsoon rainfall over the last two millennia....................................
Important review papers...................
Misra et al., 2019: Holocene climate records from lake sediments in India: Assessment of coherence across climate zones
Dixit and Tandon 2016: Hydroclimatic variability on the Indian subcontinent in the past millennium: Review and assessment
Please also go through the papers from the Himalayan region based on pollens and treen rings. You will get a lot of information.
