The Ashokan Pillar

It was this epigraphic pillar which was the evidence of the history relating to the birth of lord Buddha. It was Emperor Ashoka who built this pillar in paying homage to the birthplace. It is now protected by small fence and devotees and followers decorate it with prayer flags and banners. Here you can sit in front of pillar for contemplation.Ashokan Pillar
