BOTTOM LESS AGAM KUAN IS SELF-EXPLANATORY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SYMBOL OF CRUELTY

The "fathomless well" of Patna is famously known as Agam Kuan. Located near the Gulzarbagh railway station in Patna, Bihar, its name literally translates to "unfathomable well". It is one of the most important and mystery-shrouded archaeological sites in Patna, dating back to the Mauryan Empire under Emperor Ashoka (304–232 BCE). Agam Kuan is an ancient, 2,200-year-old circular well in Patna, Bihar that is deeply tied to Mauryan history and local legend.

Abstract

The "fathomless well" of Patna is famously known as Agam Kuan. Located near the Gulzarbagh railway station in Patna, Bihar, its name literally translates to "unfathomable well". It is one of the most important and mystery-shrouded archaeological sites in Patna, dating back to the Mauryan Empire under Emperor Ashoka (304–232 BCE). Agam Kuan is an ancient, 2,200-year-old circular well in Patna, Bihar that is deeply tied to Mauryan history and local legend.
