The Pushkarani (Holy Pond)
Close by the Asokan Pillar on the southern side is the holy pond, the Puskarini, believed to be the holy pond in which Maya Devi took bath just before giving birth to the Lord Buddha. It is also the site where the infant prince Siddhartha was given his purification bath. The Pond has terraced steps and is riveted by beautifully layered bricks
