Ashoka Pillar, Lumbini Overview
The Ashoka Pillar in Lumbini is one of the 3rd-century stone pillars built under the reign of Emperor Ashoka. It was erected as a mark of respect by Ashoka after he visited Lord Buddha's place of birth and decided to accept Buddhism. It bears the oldest inscription compared to the rest of the Ashoka Pillars, thus marking that it was the first-ever such structure built. The pillar is located inside the serene Maya Devi Temple complex. This 6-metre tall pink sandstone structure was rediscovered by Nepalese archaeologists in 1896.
