Description
ଓଡ଼ିଆ: ଓଡ଼ିଶାର ଭୁବନେଶ୍ଵର ଠାରେ ଥିବା ଧଉଳି ଶାନ୍ତିସ୍ତୁପ
English: The Shanti Stupa or the peace pagoda on the Dhauli Giri hills, Bhubaneswar. Located 8 km away from Bhubaneswar and built through Indo-Japanese collaboration, the stupa looks down on the plains of river Daya that bore witness to the gruesome war waged on Kalinga by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka the Great. It was here that Ashoka, full of remorse after the Kalinga War in 261 BC, renounced his blood-thirsty campaign and turned to Buddhism. His edicts at Dhauli are remarkably well preserved, despite the fact that they date back to the 3rd century BC.
