Many of the mauryan empire’s huge pillars originally were transported from quarries in india. a. central b. eastern c. southern d. western

The correct answer is - A. central.

During the Mauryan Empire rule numerous beautiful pillars were carved out of stone. This started with the most famous Mauryan Emperor, Ashoka, who after accepting the Buddhism decided to start making beautiful pillars.

Despite pillars being made throughout the Mauryan Empire, only 16 remain in good conditions, lot of them are only in fragments, and the majority are destroyed. These pillars weighed around 50 tons each, and they were 40 to 50 feet high.

The quarries from where these pillars were transported were around Mathura and Chunar, located in the central part of the Mauryan Empire. Nowadays these two places would come to be in the northern part of India, but the Mauryan Empire had different borders.
