Kumhrar Park
Sub Place Details: Kumhrar Park is the site where the archaeological remains of the ancient city of Pataliputra were discovered. This location holds the glorious past of the Mauryan Empire, serving as the capital for legendary kings like Chandragupta Maurya and Ashoka the Great. The most significant find here is the 80-Pillared Hall, which historians believe was the assembly hall of the Mauryan palace. Excavations have also revealed a Buddhist monastery-cum-hospital known as Arogya Vihar, managed by the famous physician Dhanvantari. The park is now a beautifully maintained green space that serves as both an archaeological site and a recreational spot for locals. Walking through the ruins, visitors can imagine the grandeur of a city that was once described by the Greek explorer Megasthenes as the greatest city in the world. It provides a tangible link to India's "Golden Age" and is a must-visit for anyone interested in ancient history. :
