Kanganahalli, located near Sannati in Karnataka, is an archaeological site known for its Buddhist stupas, sculptures, and inscription slabs. One particular relief sculpture depicts a royal figure with attendants, identified through the Brahmi inscription as 'Ranyo Ashoka' (King Ashoka). This is the first and only known stone portrait of Emperor Ashoka with his name inscribed.

• Sanchi (Madhya Pradesh): Famous for its Great Stupa, built under Ashoka's patronage, but it does not contain an inscribed stone portrait of the king.
• Shahbazgarhi (Pakistan): Contains Ashokan Rock Edicts written in the Kharosthi script. These edicts promote Dhamma (moral law) but do not include a stone portrait.
• Sohgaura (Uttar Pradesh): Known for a copper-plate inscription (Mauryan period) regarding famine relief measures, not a relief sculpture of Ashoka.
