World Heritage Buddhist Monument at Sanchi
Visit Sanchi, acclaimed as the nucleus for larger establishment of Buddhism across India since 1st century. Built during the reign of Emperor Asoka, the stupa at Sanchi still remains as an architectural wonder receiving universal admirations. This wonderful structure served as a base for the rise of many edifices, stupas, monasteries and other buildings largely related to Buddhism.
Many of the wonderfully carved works in these Stupas relate to the events of Lord Gautama Buddha, founder of Buddhism and Buddhist Jataka Stories. Though, Sanchi was under different rulers of different religious backgrounds, the stupa got even refurbished and enhanced as a testimony to the coexistence of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs.
