Overview

About the trip:-
Famous for a beautifully erected Ashokan Pillar, Lauriya Nandangarh is a small town situated approx. 28 km. north of Bettiah. The village derives its name from a pillar (Laur) of Mauryan Emperor Ashoka and a stupa mound Nandangarh which is just 2 km southwest of the pillar. Located on the banks of the Burhi Gandak River, a tributary of Ganga, the town was once a part of the great Mauryan Empire.

- Initially, there were forty pillars built by Emperor Ashoka but today only one remains in its complete form at its initial position in Lauriya Nandangarh.
- The height of the pillar is more than 12 meters and even after so many years, the Mauryan polish used on the pillar maintains its radiance and sheen.
- The pillar is inscribed with the edicts of Ashoka and is crowned with a lion on the top.
- Another one of the main tourist attractions of Lauriya Nandangarh is a large stupa, which is believed to be one of the biggest stupas in India.
- The massive stupa is 24 m in height and has a circumference of almost 457 m.

    You can see Lauriya Areraj after this, which is located some 31 km northwest of Motihari and is famous for a stone column that was established by Ashoka in 249 BC.

    The stone pillar looms to a height of 11.5 meters and was carved out of a single piece of polished sandstone. Inscribed on the pillar are six proclamations of emperor Ashoka.

    A visit to Kesariya will also be an enriching experience. Kesariya is another great place to visit. It is known for being the place where Lord Buddha delivered his world-famous Kalama Sutra.
