Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lauria Nandangarh is a village about 14 km from Shikarpur and 24 km from Bettiah in West Champaran district of Bihar state in northern India. Here there are interesting ruins of a huge stupa. It is a 26 metre high ancient brick sepulchral mound thought to be the stupa where the ashes of Lord Buddha were enshrined. Less than half a kilometer from the village, stands the famous pillar of Ashoka. It is a single block of polished sandstone over 32 feet (10 m) high. The top is bell shaped with a circular abacus ornamented with Brahmi geese supporting the statue of a lion. The pillar is inscribed with the edict of Ashoka in clear and beautifully cut characters. The lion has been chipped in the month and the column bears the mark of time just below the top which has itself been slightly dislodged.
