The town of Sanchi is renowned for its Buddhist Stupas, which are hemispherical structures containing relics of the Buddha or his disciples. Constructed on the orders of Emperor Ashoka, these stupas were intended to preserve and disseminate Buddhist teachings. Sanchi has safeguarded these architectural marvels, just as they have preserved the ancient history and art of the Mauryan period. The stupas, temples, monasteries, and an Ashokan pillar have captivated global audiences and earned UNESCO's recognition as a World Heritage Site for the Mahastupa.This content is compiled by the Madhya Pradesh Tourism board and is available for public viewing on TellME_360 worldwide.
