Asurgarh

India

Asurgarh, a fortified site in Odisha's Kalahandi district, holds 10 Bunkabop connections with 734 places across 6 topics, spanning ancient history, archaeology, government administration, and early urbanism. The site's name derives from "Asokagarh," linking it to King Ashoka of the Mauryan dynasty. Coins from pre-Mauryan, Mauryan, and Gupta periods recovered at the site tie it to Delhi, India, and Vidisha. Delhi University researchers have connected Asurgarh to the first urbanization process in Odisha, placing it before Sisupalgarh in the regional timeline.
