The
historically
important
Dhauli
hills
are
located
on
the
banks
of
the
Daya
River,
8
km
(5
mi)
south
of
Bhubaneswar...
It's
a
hill
with
vast
open
space
adjoining
it,
and
has
major
edicts
of
emperor
Ashoka
engraved
on
a
mass
of
rock,
by
the
side
of
the
road
leading
to
the
summit
of
the
hill...
Dhauli
hill
is
presumed
to
be
the
battleground
where
one
of
the
bloodiest
wars
(i.e.,
Kalinga
War)
in
the
world's
history
was
fought...
Around
1
lakh
people
were
killed
in
the
Kalinga
War...
So
the
Daya
river's
colour
turned
red
due
to
bloodshed,
which
changed
emperor
Ashoka...
After
witnessing
this
bloodshed,
Ashoka
gave
up
violence
and
embraced
peace
by
following
Buddhism...
