One of the most enduring achievements of Indian civilization is undoubtedly its architecture, which extends to a great deal more than the Taj Mahal or the temple of complexes of Khajuraho and Vijayanagara. The beginnings of the Buddhist school of architecture can be traced back to B.C. 255 when the Mauryan Emperor Asoka established Buddhism as the state religion of his large empire.
