"Dhauli Santi Stupa", a peace pagoda monument which witnessed the great Kalinga War built by Japan Budhha Sangha and Kalinga Nippon Budhha Sangha.It has four massive idols of Lord Buddha in different postures along with Gautam Buddha’s life. These are all carved on stone slabs. It has various rock edicts, which are a living testimony of emperor Ashoka’s transformation. Historians say Ashoka wrote ‘welfare of the whole world’ which depicts his concern about humanity. A rock-cut elephant above the edicts is one of the oldest Buddhist sculptures in Odisha. #odisha #pindleindia #bhubaneswar
