high-definition creative commons photographs from 84,000 Relics from The Legend of the Thūpas together with further information.

Inspired by the Dhamma, King Asoka undertook the monumental task of building 84,000 Thūpas across India. By opening the secret repository created by Ajātasattu, he distributed the Buddha’s relics to every corner of his empire. Guided by wise Arahats, Asoka’s massive construction project transformed the landscape of India into a vast network of shrines, ensuring that the influence of the Buddha’s relics reached a global audience.
