    Question

    According to the Ashokan Inscription which of the following was NOT a provincial centre in Mauryan Empire?

    A.

    Indraprastha

    B.

    Taxila

    C.

    Tosali

    D.

    Ujjayini

    Correct option is A

    The answer is (a) Indraprastha
    The four provincial centres of the Mauryan Empire, as mentioned in the Ashokan Inscriptions, are:
    · Taxila (in the north)
    · Ujjayini (in the west)
    · Suvarnagiri (in the south)
    · Tosali (in the east)
    Indraprastha is an ancient city located in present-day Delhi, India. It is famous for being the capital of the Pandavas, the heroes of the Indian epic, Mahabharata. However, there is no evidence to suggest that it was a provincial center during the Mauryan Empire, and it is not mentioned in the Ashokan Inscriptions as such.
