Hinduism in Azerbaijan has been tied to cultural diffusion on the Silk Road. One of the remnants of once-dominant Hindu and Buddhist culture in the Caucasus is Surakhani, the site of the Ateshgah of Baku.〔(Rare Hindu temple in Muslim Azerbaijan ) - Sify.com〕 ==History of Indian religions in Azerbaijan== Ashoka (Devanāgarī: अशोक, IAST: Aśoka, IPA: , ca. 304–232 BC), also known as Ashoka the Great, was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from ca. 269 BC to 232 BC. He converted to Buddhism from Hinduism after witnessing the mass deaths of the Kalinga War, which he himself had waged out of a desire for conquest. He was later dedicated to the propagation of Buddhism across Asia, North Africa and Mediterranean Europe.〔http://www.historyfiles.co.uk/FeaturesFarEast/India_IronAge_Mauryas01.htm〕 He also supported other Indian religions. He established monuments marking several significant sites in the life of Gautama Buddha. Ashoka was a devotee of ahimsa (nonviolence), love, truth, tolerance and vegetarianism. Ashoka is remembered in history as a philanthropic administrator. Ashoka played a critical role in helping make Buddhism a world religion.〔http://www.tibethouse.us/programs/view/102312/4〕
