Today, Dhauli is distinguished by the Shanti Stupa (Peace Pagoda)—a symbol of peace and non-violence.
Architecture of the Temple
The Shanti Stupa is a domed structure crowned with five parasols, each representing key Buddhist virtues—compassion, wisdom, charity, discipline, and patience.
Inside, there are four Buddha statues facing the cardinal directions, along with carved panels showing episodes from the Buddha’s life and Ashoka’s renunciation.
The design blends traditional Buddhist symbolism with simplicity and serenity—enhanced by surrounding gardens and the nearby historical rock edicts.
