The Buddhas foot mark: This video shows the foot mark the Buddha left behind when he looked at Magadh for the last time. He told Anand he was leaving his foot mark. Huen Tsang says later on King Shashank broke it to pieces and threw it into the river. The rock pieces jumped out of the water. This is in Pandarak village. That meant that this was the fording point of the river for the Buddha when he went to and from Vaishali. Fifty meters south of this rock foot mark is king Ashokas first Buddha relic stupa. These are exactly according to Huen Tsangs description. If you look at the right side of the video you will see half a foot mark 18 inches long. Huen Tsang stated the size. The chakras  the Buddha was famous for are easily discernible. I fail to understand how anyone could have carved it. In the middle of the video is a man raping a squirming elephant. The squirming elephant represents Buddhism being manhandled and wiped out. The rapist personifies the victory of Hinduism over Buddhism. I'm sure Hindus won't be proud of this carving. This rock gives the rock statue of a lion overpowering an elephant, in front of the Konark temple an entirely different meaning. previously it was regarded simply as lion overpowering elephant. Now it means something else. here the link to the video.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JEpj4jD2FY&t=11s
