What was the Ashvameda ritual?

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 11 months ago

The ashvamedha ceremony or the horse sacrifice was one of the most important royal rituals of the Vedic period. It was often performed by powerful kings. The king wishing to perform this ceremony set a horse free to roam through the kingdoms of other rulers, guarded by his men. If a king allowed this sacred horse to pass through his territory, then it indicated that he had accepted the superiority of the first king. However if the king stopped the horse, then it meant that he was challenging the authority of the first king. A battle followed thereafter
