During which era was the Dharmajika Stupa in Taxila built?

A. Achaemenid Era
B. Greek Era
C. Kushan Era
D. Mauryan Era
Correct Answer: D. Mauryan Era

The correct answer is the Mauryan Era. The Dharmajika Stupa, a prominent Buddhist monument located in Taxila, Pakistan, is historically attributed to the Mauryan Empire. It is widely believed to have been originally constructed during the reign of Emperor Ashoka, a significant patron of Buddhism, who ruled during the Mauryan period (c. 322–185 BCE).

  • The Achaemenid Era predates the stupa's construction.
  • The Greek Era (Indo-Greek kingdoms) and Kushan Era followed the Mauryan period, with later additions or renovations to the stupa, but not its initial building.
