Question

Girnar is situated one mile to the east of Junagarh in Kathiawar.
A number of major inscriptions are found here, including, apart from those of Asoka, those of Rudradaman and Skandagupta.
Its importance was increased by the fact that during the reign of Chandragupta a dam was constructed on the Sudarsana lake in the neighbourhood of Gimar.
The Rudradaman inscription informs us that the” lake was originally built by Pushyagupta, the provincial governor of Chandragupta.
Subsequently conduits were worked from it by Tusaspa in the reign of Asoka.
It appears from the inscription of Skandagupta that the lake continued to supply water to the surrounding area until well into the Gupta period.
