– Megasthenes, the Greek ambassador to the court of Chandragupta Maurya, described the grandeur of Pataliputra and its wooden fortifications in his work Indica.
– Archaeological findings at Kumrahar and Bulandibagh corroborate some of these descriptions and provide valuable insights into Mauryan architecture and urban planning.
– Mocharim and Jalalgarh are not prominent archaeological sites associated with Mauryan Pataliputra.
