So he also developed sankhisa and like other places installed are unique pillars. The top of the pillar is adorned with an elephant unlike other pillars which are usually having a lion. It is associated with the representation of the dram that queen mother Maya had in her dram of elephant. This pillar was found during the excavation near the temple. It is believed that at sankisa lord Buddha descended from haven through a golden ladder after giving sermon to his mother his place finds a mention in the Ramayana and also in the travelogue of the Chinese traveler Hieum Tsang who called this place Kapittha.

About Agra
Agra, on the Yamuna River in northern India, is home to the Taj Mahal, the monumental Agra Fort and the Mughal ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri.
The Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, is one of the most admired buildings anywhere, its white marble changing colour from dawn to dusk. Its gardens, reflecting pools and inlaid stonework are loveliest early in the morning, and the Mehtab Bagh gardens across the river offer a calm sunset view.
Top-ranked sights in Agra: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah.
