Charumati (Brahmi: 𑀘𑀸 𑀭𑀼𑀼 𑀫𑀓𑀻), sometimes called Charumitra, was a daughter of the Indian Maurya Emperor Ashoka and his chief queen, Empress Asandhimitra. She was trained in nursing and caregiving by her foster mother and is believed to have tended to Emperor Ashoka in his later years.
She was married to a Nepalese prince, Devapala Kshatriya, and settled in the Kathmandu Valley. She is credited with founding the monastery of Chabahil (called Charumati Vihara), which is considered one of the oldest extant Buddhist monasteries of Nepal.
