Dhauli Hill

8 km from Bhubaneswar

Dhauli Hill is one of the most visited Buddhist pilgrim destinations in India. It represents the place where, after witnessing the carnage of Kalinga War, Emperor Ashoka relinquished war and adopted Buddhism. Serving as proof of this renunciation are the edicts of the Emperor, which have been preserved here.
