Summary
| Description |
English: Ashok Pillar at Lumbini. The Ashokan Pillar in Lumbini stands at 6 meters and is made from pink sandstone. The pillar was lost until 1896 when a team of Nepalese archeologists rediscovered it.It is one of many stone pillars built by the Indian Emperor Ashoka during his reign in the 3rd century BC. Today only 19 pillars remain that have inscriptions most of which are found in India. The one located in Lumbini, Nepal is of particular note as it is the oldest inscription found in Nepal. नेपाली: अशोक स्तम्भ लुम्बिनीमा रहेको प्रसिद्ध स्मारक हो । यो स्तम्भको निर्माण भारतीय सम्राट अशोकाके तेश्रो शताब्दीमा गरेका हुन् ।
