Buddhism  Map
Mauryan Period, 322–185 BC

The remains from the Mauryan period are very few, they consist mainly of the Asokan Rock Edicts and the Pillars, which are normally inscribed and surmounted by lions, elephants or bulls (only a small selection of them are shown here). In Kumraha on the edge of modern day Patna are old architectural remains of the ancient city walls, and from Didarganj on the banks on the Ganges a splendid human-size Yakṣinī modelled in the round, and highly polished, has been found. The excavated rock caves at Barabar, although later inhabited by Buddhists, were carved out for the Ājīvaka sect, but their main importance lies in the fact that they provided the models for the great rock cave complexes at Ajāntā, Ellora and eslewhere in the coming centuries.
