  Sunga empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The capital of the Sungas was at Pataliputra.
The Sunga dynasty was established in 185 BCE, about 50 years after Ashoka's death, when the king Brhadrata, the last of the Mauryan rulers, was brutally murdered by the then commander-in-chief of the Mauryan armed forces, Pusyamitra Sunga, while he was taking the Guard of Honour of his forces.
These stupas, however, are located quite far from the Sunga center of power, and it is questioned whether these works were due to the weakness of the control of the Sungas in these areas, or a late sign of tolerance on their part.

 Heliodorus pillar - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Heliodorus pillar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The pillar was surmounted by a sculpture of Garuda and was apparently dedicated by Heliodorus to the god Vasudeo in front of the temple of Vasudeva.
The Heliodorus pillar seems to indicate some level of reconciliation between the faith of the Buddha which tended to be supported by the Indo-Greeks, and the Hinduist faith of the Sunga (who before had persecuted Buddhism from the time of Pusyamitra Sunga), through their incorporation of the Buddha within the Bhagavatam pantheon.
This reconcialiation was symbolized by a high-ranking Indo-Greek ambassador devoting a monument to the syncretic faith of the Sunga, while at the same time reafirming his beliefs in Buddhist moral precepts.
