Recently in which place broken relief sculpture of King Ashoka has been discovered ?
Answer: A
The broken relief sculpture of Ashoka was found at Kanaganahalli (near Sannati in Gulbarga district) in Karnataka, option A. The relief shows him seated with attendants and carries the inscription 'Raya Asoka', and it comes from a Buddhist stupa site excavated in the late 1980s and after.
Mahasthan is in Bangladesh and has a Mauryan Brahmi inscription, Kumrahar in Bihar has the Mauryan pillared hall at Patna, and Nittur in Karnataka has a minor rock edict of Ashoka, so none of these gave the sculpture.
The relief comes from the Buddhist stupa site at Sannati and carries a caption naming the king as 'Raya Asoka', which is why it was identified as a portrait of him.
