This quiet, scenic spot was once the venue of the historic battle of Kalinga. After witnessing the bloodshed, King Ashoka had a change of heart. Ashokan rock edicts which date back to the 2nd Century B.C. can be found at the foot of the hill. The hill is crowned by the Santi Stupa, a white Japanese peace pagoda, representing the five ancient Buddhist virtues. The stupa provides a view of the surrounding countryside.
