Heliodorus pillar

The Heliodorus pillar is a stone column that was erected around 113 BCE in central India in Besnagar. A dedication written in Brahmi script was inscribed on the pillar, venerating Vāsudeva, the Deva deva and the Supreme Deity. Two major archaeological excavations in the 20th-century have revealed the pillar to be a part of an ancient Vaisudeva temple site.
