A ‘Dharma Chakra’ (popularly known as Ashoka Chakra) made of mild steel installed in Yamunanagar’s Topra Kalan village has been recognised as India’s biggest by the Limca Book of Records 2020.
The chakra has a diameter of 30 ft, 24 spokes and weighs around 6 tonnes. The non-armature structure took 240 days to construct and was built by NGO Buddhist Forum last year to present a glimpse into Emperor Asoka’s era in Haryana. The chakra has been painted golden, like the majority of Buddha idols, as it is considered a highly spiritual colour.
The initiative to revive lost Buddhist legacy has been taken up by brothers Sidhartha Gauri, Buddhist Forum general secretary and filmmaker, and Dr Satyadeep Neil Gauri, a dentist in Australia. Sidhartha Gauri said that with the help of the Topra Kalan gram panchayat, they had planned to set up an Ashoka Edict Park in the Mauryan-era village. The Ashoka Chakra is part of that park.
