The Discovery of an Ashoka Pillar in 1905
“Ashoka Pillars” are a series of columns dispersed throughout India, erected or at least inscribed with edicts of the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka. They date to his long reign from 268 to 232 BCE. The Ashoka Pillars today are important records of the reach of Mauryan control, and the acts of the Mauryan government.
This photograph is a rare in-situ recording of the discovery of one of the Ashoka Pillars at Sarnath.
