Karuvaki (or Charuvaki) was the second queen[1] of the third Mauryan emperor, Ashoka. She was also the mother of Ashoka's son, Prince Tivala.

Spouse Ashoka
Issue Tivala (son)
House Maurya

Life Edit
Karuvaki was immortalized in the Queen Edict wherein her religious and charitable donations were recorded as per her wishes. This gives an image of her being a self-possessed and strong-willed consort, who wanted an act of philanthropy recorded as specifically hers.[2][3]

The edict also identifies her as mother to their son, Prince Tivala (also referred to as Tivara), who is the only son of Ashoka mentioned by name in his inscriptions.[4][5][6]

Despite the fact that Ashoka had many queens, Kaurwaki is the only queen of Ashoka, who was named in his inscriptions and edicts.[7][8]

In popular culture Edit
Karuvaki was portrayed by Kareena Kapoor in the 2001 Bollywood film, Aśoka.[9]
Reem Sheikh and Saumya Seth portrays Karuvaki in Colors TV's 2015 historical drama, Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat.[10]
She is the main character of The Ashoka Trilogy, The Prince of Pataliputra by Shreyas Bhave.
