The Dharmarajika is a large Buddhist stupa in the area of Taxila, Pakistan. It is thought that it was established by the Mauryan emperor Asoka in the 3rd century BCE around relics of the Buddha. The stupa is also popularly called as 'Chir Tope'. The site is divided into two parts: the stupa area in the south and the monastic area in the north.
