Kalsi, sometimes spelled Khalsi, is near the confluence of river Yamuna and Tons. Along with the nearby Jagatgram village, it is one of the oldest known Indian heritage sites in Uttarakhand. Kalsi is famous for the enormous pear-shaped boulder with fourteen edicts of Ashoka in Brahmi script. These are from the 3rd-century BCE, and amongst the most studied of Brahmi inscriptions in Magadhi language. The inscription is so arranged that one must complete a clockwise circumambulation to read the text from the first to the last.
The Kalsi rock also has a beautifully incised drawing of an elephant with tusk and rolled up trunk on the northern face. Below its stomach is the word "Gajatame" in Brahmi script, which means "best elephant".
The Kalsi rock edict is an important marker for the geographical reach of Ashoka's empire in central Himalayas and of Indian culture in ancient times.
