Just four kilometres from Sisupalgarh is the Dhauli hill. At its base is an Ashokan Pillar with edicts from the Emperor. Ashoka fought the Kalinga War that converted him from a ferocious marauder to a pacifist Buddhist. Ashoka was the Emperor of Magadha. His forebear was Jarasandha — mentor of Sisupala, as mentioned in the Mahabharata. What research has been done on this front? Can any be undertaken if Sisupalgarh is lost forever and goes under the foundations of modern buildings?
I did see any time frame on it. I don’t really know much of anything about it but thought I’d pass it along anyway.
