Kumhrar in Patna offers a glimpse of ancient splendour dating back to 322-185 BCE, when the Mauryan period had just started. At its centre stands an 80-pillar hall which originally served as a royal court but later evolved into an assembly hall for Buddhists during Ashoka's rule and hosted events such as his third Buddhist council meeting. These pillars made from Chunar sandstone provide testimony of architectural brilliance from this era and will help bring ancient stories alive!
