| Details | The pillar was found (and presumably still remains) in the lands belonging to the village of Bhumarā. The place is about 14.5 km to the northwest of Uchaharā according to Fleet, and 19 km to the west of Uchaharā according to Cunningham, who calls it Bhubhara. It may be the settlement known to Google Maps as Bhummra, at 24.445367, 80.690854. |
