At the time of the battle of Kalinga, it was
the River Daya which is assumed to be turned red due to the bloodbath happened
in the war, making Ashoka understand the darkest side of a war and he become
the propagator of peace. After the war, he helped Dhauli become an important
Buddhist centre by building a number of stupas and pillars in the region. So the place got some special importance for
the King and he built many monuments, pillars and written edicts. Eleven out of
Ashoka’s famous fourteen stone edicts are here on the Dhauli Hills, these were
discovered in the year 1837 by Lt. M. Kittoe.
