ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE
A pear-shaped quartz rock with a 10 ft height, 10 ft length and 8 ft width at its base is the third among the 14 edicts that are spotted in so many other parts. This edict portrays Brahmi scripts and encompasses the king’s reforms and advises to the people. It also enshrines the outline of an elephant with the word gajatam wrote in between its legs. Rendering of five Greek kings, Antiochus, Magus, Antigonus, Ptolemy, and Alexander helped the excavators to calculate the exact date of the edict, which comes around in 253 BC.
