Rajgriha (Girivraja) was the early capital of the Magadha Janapada, and later Pataliputra became the capital.

– Rajgriha served as the capital of Magadha during the reigns of Bimbisara and Ajatashatru.
– Pataliputra was established near the confluence of the Ganga and Son rivers and was made the capital by Udayin. It remained a major capital for subsequent empires like the Mauryas.

Champa was the capital of the neighbouring kingdom of Anga, which was conquered by Magadha. Vaishali was the capital of the Vajjian (Lichchavi) confederacy, which was also eventually annexed by Magadha, but it was not a capital of Magadha itself.
