English: A stone railing that dates to 100 BC, built during the reign of the Sunga dynasty, surrounds the Mahabodhi temple on three sides. It is the oldest of the excavated evidence in Bodhgaya but only part of the original structure is still in place. You can find the rest in museums in Calcutta and London. This carved stone railing is two metres high and has been restored over the years. Inscriptions on the railings indicate that it was built after the original temple and was gifted by women of royal patronage from the court of Indragnimitra and Brahmamitra.
