In fact, the ASI had also raised objections when the Parivartan Chowk was founded in 1995.
In 1997, fountains and a garden were added to it. Statues of dalit icons like B R Ambedkar, Jyotiba Phule, Narain Guru and Chattrapati Shauji Maharaj were erected at four corners of the chowk, and a statue of Gautam Buddha was installed at the centre — again in the face of ASI objections.
