Shanti Supta, Dhauli, Orissa

Flanking the southern banks of the river Daya, and eight km from Bhubaneswar are the historic plains of Dhauli that were witness to some of the goriest battles fought in Orissa. The Kalinga War in 261 B.C. proved to be a turning point in not just Indian history, but also in the way people lived and believed in regions beyond the borders.

The gruesome sight had a morose and repentant Emperor Ashoka take to the teachings of peace and non-violence preached by Lord Buddha. The edicts at Dhauli are a living testimony to King Ashoka's adoption of the doctrine of Dharma Vijay, or conquest through love, over Dig Vijaya, or conquest by the sword.

Hope you're not trying to say that thing is from Ashokas time.

Lets go back to churches.

That's just a BS excuse. Before Mauryas, India just didnt do much with stone. Wood was the prime material, but at the time of the Mauryas, India was transitioning from wood to more stone works. You can see early relief works from bharhut they were carved into stone like it was wood. And there were wooden influenced styles in the stone works. Like the railings around the stupa, is a wooden piece made into stone.

Even if Satvanahans or the Sungas improvised on the Maurya period, it is still 2 BCE.

No there was mention of the edicts of Ashoka preserved in that stupa.

Never said it wasn't 2nd century BC, but caption is wrong.

 

[Indrani]

You dont really know what you're posting. Just because something was there from so and so doesnt mean it wasnt redesigned. For example, they wouldnt show Buddhas image before around 2nd century AD.

The Bharhut stupa may have been established by the Maurya king Asoka in the 3rd century BCE, but many works of art were apparently added during the Sunga period, with many friezes from the 2nd century BCE.

Never said it wasn't 2nd century BC, but caption is wrong.

LOL. Your entire argument is based on rubbishing any stone work from before Maurya period. Whereas Whether Sunga, Satvahana, or Maurya all the work from these periods coincide with the Roman empire. So you can quibble as much as you want.

None of these seem amateurish. Also considering the amount of monuments destroyed by the Islamic invasion, it is not a BS hypothesis that more work would have perished during this time.

Sorry they predate Roman empire.

Yeah, but are they comparable to these?

Please look at how many Roman structures exist.

They dont just exist in the capital. They're in Germania, Britannia, North Africa, Iberia, Middle East.

How many do you know from Mauryas? Couple? You have Bharut and Sanchi, and couple of rock cut caves. From Mauryas and their successors combined.

Look at the list of Roman theaters alone.

Damn right I stand by that Greeks and Romans were a head of the game.

 

[Indrani]

LOL. Of course they are comparable. Infact, they can easily exceed those time periods. Rome did not see a fraction of the destruction that India saw.

I did not post other monuments if you are speaking of Roman times which is basically 2000 year old.

Give me a break with that Islamic bs crap. Rock cut caves cant be destroyed.

Most of Andra, Sunga stuff falls in line with Republic monuments.

Or older Greek monuments.

And you did post something from 5th century AD.

Kutagarasala Vihara, Vaishali, Bihar

Kutagarasala Vihara is the monastery where Buddha most frequently stayed while visiting Vaishali. On its ground can be found the Ananda Stupa, with an Asokan pillar in very good condition (perhaps the only complete Asokan pillar left standing), and an ancient pond.

Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh

Sarnath (also Mrigadava, Migadāya, Rishipattana, Isipatana) is the deer park where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment of Kondanna. Sarnath is located 13 kilometres north-east of Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Isipatana is mentioned by the Buddha as one of the four places of pilgrimage which his devout followers should visit, if they wanted to visit a place for that reason.

Most of the ancient buildings and structures at Sarnath were damaged or destroyed by the Turks. However, amongst the ruins can be distinguished:

* The Dhamek Stupa; it is an impressive 128 feet high and 93 feet in diameter.
* The Dharmarajika Stupa is one of the few pre-Ashokan stupas remaining, although only the foundations remain. The rest of the Dharmarajika Stupa was removed to Varanasi to be used as building materials in the 18h century. At that time, also relics were found in the Dharmarajika Stupa. These relics were subsequently thrown in the Ganges river.
* The Chaukhandi Stupa commemorates the spot where the Buddha met his first disciples, dating back to the fifth century or earlier and later enhanced by the addition of an octagonal tower of Islamic origin. In recent years it is undergoing restoration.
* The ruins of the Mulagandhakuti vihara mark the place where the Buddha spent his first rainy season.
* The modern Mulagandhakuti Vihara is a monastery built in the 1930s by the Sri Lankan Mahabodhi Society, with beautiful wall paintings. Behind it is the Deer Park (where deer are still to be seen).

Bhaja Buddhist Caves, Aurangabad, Maharashtra

Copyright G Deepak@flickr

Bhaja Caves, situated in the Aurangabad district, lie at a distance of 60 km from Pune. The caves are as old as the 2nd century BC, i.e., the early Theravadin phase of Buddhism, when the Mauryans used to rule over India. The eighteen caves at Bhaja are dedicated to Lord Buddha and have been beautifully carved with his images. Some of the images represent Lord Buddha, in symbolic terms, and some depict the incidents surrounding His life.
