Reviews Of Nandangarh and Chankigarh

Champaran, Bihar, India
Lauria Nandangarh and the nearby Chankigarh are two of the most significant archaeological sites in Northern India, dating back to the Mauryan and Pre-Mauryan eras. Nandangarh is a massive mound, nearly 80 feet high, which is believed to be a grand Buddhist stupa or the remains of a palace belongin g to the Nanda dynasty. Excavations here have revealed a gold leaf with a female figurine, believed to be the Earth Goddess, and ashes that some believe belong to Lord Buddha. Just a kilometer away stands the famous Ashokan Pillar, a single block of polished sandstone capped with a lion. Chankigarh, located further towards Narkatiaganj, is another massive earthen mound traditionally associated with Chanakya, the great economist and advisor to Chandragupta Maurya. It is believed to be the remains of a fortified palace or an administrative outpost. Together, these sites represent the administrative and religious heart of the ancient kingdom of Magadha's northern frontier. The sheer scale of the mounds suggests that a highly organized urban civilization existed here over 2,300 years ago. Despite the passage of time and the growth of local vegetation, the majesty of the structures remains visible. The sites are managed by the Archaeological Survey of India and continue to be a subject of intense research regarding the origins of the Maurya Empire and the spread of Buddhism.
