“Work I must for the commonweal, and the way to achieve it is by effort and dispatch; to this end, I toil to discharge my debt to human beings and make some happy in this world and the next,” Emperor Ashoka once said. Understanding his inspiring philanthropic perspective entails understanding the remarkable story of transformation that led this dictatorial and ambitious monarch to become a humble and humane ruler dedicated to his people’s prosperity. The Ashoka room reminds us of how the dormant greatness within every human being can manifest through intent.
Bed Type: King
The Buddhist pillars on either side of the bed, modelled after Ashoka’s stupas and inscribed with Buddhist teachings, depict Ashoka’s life as a benevolent Buddhist king. The painting is a tribute to his remarkable life of transformation from violence to enlightenment. It uses colours that depict violence and serenity to depict his plundering army on one side, and on the other, The Buddha. The sword table represents the cataclysmic event, the battle at Kalinga, that led to his transformation from a violent emperor to a philanthropist. The Ashoka chair is named after the Ashoka Chakra, also known as the Dharmachakra, which is a Buddhist wheel with 24 spokes.
