The discovery of India’s largest circular stone labyrinth was made in the Boramani grasslands of Solapur district, located in Maharashtra. Dating back nearly 2,000 years to the Satavahana period, the structure highlights the historical importance of Maharashtra as a major hub in ancient inland and coastal trade networks. With 15 concentric stone circuits—the highest recorded in India—the labyrinth provides valuable evidence of Indo-Roman trade connections and ancient navigation systems. Its location and design suggest it served as a visible trade-route marker, reinforcing Maharashtra’s role in long-distance commerce during the Early Common Era.
