Ashoka embraced Buddhism after regretting a massacre. At Sanchi, near the birth place of his wife he erected
stupa to house relics in the 3rd century B.C. . A pillar once crowned with trio of lions stood here. The lions have become the symbol for India, the fallen pillar still receives reverence from visiting Buddhists. Derek R. Audette, a Canadian from Ottawa wrote and performed the music.
