Ashoka Stupa Kolhua, Bihar,India.






Kolhua is between Vaishali and Muzaffarpur, around 12 km from Vaishali. At Kolhua, Lord Buddha preached his last sermon. To commemorate the event, Emperor Ashoka, in the third century B.C. erected one of his famous lion pillars. Adjacent to this is the tank associated with the monkeys offering honey.
