2000+ YEAR OLD BUDDHIST UNIVERSITY DESTROYED BY ISLAMIC FANATICS ...




Buddhist Learning site at Mansar, NR. NAGPUR, Maharashtra

Mansar is a rich archaeological site with remains dating from several periods of Indian history, probably from 800BCE ... Brick-built stupas and Buddhist universities have been unearthed from the Maurya(~200 BCE) and Vakataka(~ 400 CE) dynasties. A seal-making factory of the Vakatakas discovered nearby has provided strong evidence that this was the Pravareswaradeva Kulasthanam — the abode of the presiding deity of the Vakataka dynasty.

The water reservoir around the site and findings of ancient tools and other objects point to the fact that a large population inhabited the area centuries ago. The discovery has made Mansar one of the prime archaeological sites in the country.
