Thus in the 2nd-1st century B.C. Pauni had possibly the largest \*stūpa\*. The top of the \*aṇḍa\* had possibly the \*vedikā\* and a \*chattrāvalī\*, the fragments of the latter having been recovered in the excavation. In addition the \*stūpa\* complex seems to have been further embellished by a majestic monolithic pillar with a fluted capital having a socket at the top possible to accommodate a \*cakra\* or some other motif. - [Previous: v2.c42.327](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.327) - [Next: v2.c42.329](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.329) - [Up: v2.c42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.328](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.328) · Pramāṇa
