In a remarkable archaeological discovery, a nearly 2,000-year-old gold ring bearing a Brahmi inscription was unearthed at the Phetchaburi archaeological site in Thailand.
The inscription has been read as “Pusarahita” in Prakrit, meaning “protected by the Pushya Nakshatra.” It was most likely the personal name of the individual who wore the ring.
This remarkable find adds to the growing body of archaeological evidence demonstrating the deep cultural, commercial, and civilisational connections between India and Suvarnabhumi.
