The Great Stupa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and located a short trip away from Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh.

It is believed that his intention behind constructing this Stupa was to preserve and spread the Buddhist philosophy and way of life. The Great Stupa is the oldest and largest Stupa at the Sanchi Buddhist Monument Complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original structure built by Ashoka was not made of stone; it was a simple hemispherical monument made using bricks. Many historians presume that the Great Stupa was destroyed in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;century BCE during the reign of Emperor Pushyamitra Shunga. His son, Agnimitra, reconstructed the monument and covered the original brick Stupa with stone slabs. During the latter part of the Shunga period, additional elements were added to the Stupa and as a result, it became twice its initial size. The second and third Stupas at Sanchi were also built during this period. During the Satavahana rule, i.e. in the 1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;BCE, four ceremonial gateways aka&nbsp;<em>toranas<\/em>&nbsp;and an ornamented balustrade were also added to the main structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over centuries, the Great Stupa came to be known as the symbol of&nbsp;<em>dharma<\/em>&nbsp;or the Wheel of Law. This Stupa along with other structures in the Sanchi Complex was functional till the 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century. The Great Stupa and other Buddhist monuments at Sanchi were discovered in 1818 as a result of excavations. It is currently preserved by the Archeological Survey of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/32856182493_c9469c8af3_b-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/32856182493_c9469c8af3_b.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/32856182493_c9469c8af3_b-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sanchi Stupa: Architecture<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Great Stupa at Sanchi exhibits the Buddhist architectural style. With a height of 54 feet and a pedestal diameter of 120 feet, it is one of the largest of its kind in the whole country. The main structure of the Stupa is a hemispherical dome that has a simple design. The dome rests on a base, under which is a relic chamber. According to popular beliefs, the dome was constructed over the relics belonging to Lord Buddha. That is why it was adorned with three&nbsp;<em>chhatris (<\/em>umbrella-like structures) meant to shelter the relics. The three structures are said to stand for&nbsp;<em>Triantha<\/em>&nbsp;or the three jewels of Buddhism, namely the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. A large central pillar supports the&nbsp;<em>chhatris<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The railings surrounding the Great Stupa are devoid of any artistic d\u00e9cor. These railings are nothing more than plain slabs bearing dedicatory inscriptions. There are four intricately ornamented ceremonial gateways that face all four directions. Scenes from Jataka stories, events of Buddha\u2019s life, scenes from early Buddhism period, and several auspicious symbols are carved on these ceremonial gateways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sanchi Stupa: Today<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Great Stupa at Sanchi is one of the most famous tourist spots near Bhopal and a prominent Buddhist pilgrimage site. Scores of people visit this structure every day to get a glimpse of the region\u2019s architectural heritage and to understand the cultural history of India at a deeper level. Currently, you can see around fifty additional structures and monuments on the hilltop where the Stupa is situated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1989, the Great Stupa and other Buddhist structures at Sanchi were collectively declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO for their unique cultural significance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/magnificient-architecture-at-sanchi-stupa-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/magnificient-architecture-at-sanchi-stupa-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/magnificient-architecture-at-sanchi-stupa-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/magnificient-architecture-at-sanchi-stupa-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/magnificient-architecture-at-sanchi-stupa-1800x1350.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/magnificient-architecture-at-sanchi-stupa-576x432.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Great Stupa at Sanchi has been the focal point of the Buddhist faith in the region since it was built by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC. The grand structure still inspires awe today and sits at the top of a hill, surrounded by the remains of smaller stupas, monasteries, and temples that were built as the religious community grew in the centuries after the site was founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its impressive scale today, the original Ashokan stupa was about half the size and built from large bricks and mud mortar. It\u2019s believed it had raised terraces at the base, was enclosed by a wooden railing, and was crowned by a stone umbrella. The stupa was enlarged using local sandstone during the Sunga period, which began about 50 years after Ashoka\u2019s death. The elaborately-carved gateways were added later, in the 1st century BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.elebase.io\/173fe953-8a63-4a8a-8ca3-1bacb56d78a5\/39be280f-42b1-4624-90dd-7e3abd367ff4-greatstupa-inline-01-michaelturtle.jpg?q=75\" alt=\"The gateways and the stone balustrade were added after the stupa was enlarged following the death of Emperor Ashoka. \u2013 \u00a9 Michael Turtle\"\/><figcaption>The gateways and the stone balustrade were added after the stupa was enlarged following the death of Emperor Ashoka. \u2013 \u00a9 Michael Turtle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The main body of the stupa symbolises the cosmic mountain.

The high circular terrace against the base is accessible by staircases and is designed for worshippers to be able to walk around the stupa. On the ground level, there is another procession path that is surrounded by stone balustrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.elebase.io\/173fe953-8a63-4a8a-8ca3-1bacb56d78a5\/e9a3fc5c-afe0-47e0-8c25-182649557ed8-greatstupa-inline-02-michaelturtle.jpg?q=75\" alt=\"A view of the rear of the northern gateway from the high terrace that encircles the stupa and is accessible by stairs from the ground level. \u2013 \u00a9 Michael Turtle\"\/><figcaption>A view of the rear of the northern gateway from the high terrace that encircles the stupa and is accessible by stairs from the ground level. \u2013 \u00a9 Michael Turtle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The gateways at the four cardinal points are the highlights of the structure, with a series of detailed carvings showing Buddhist symbols and important historical and religious scenes. Interestingly, Buddha is always shown in these carvings as a symbol and not as a human. He is represented on the gateways as a horse without a rider, an umbrella above an empty throne, the Bodhi tree, or as footprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.elebase.io\/173fe953-8a63-4a8a-8ca3-1bacb56d78a5\/7cd0cd57-87f7-4870-8b5b-780589f8a9e7-greatstupa-inline-03-michaelturtle.jpg?q=75\" alt=\"The sculpture of Buddha in dhyana-mudra at the eastern side of the stupa, added to the site in the 5th century AD by the Guptas. \u2013 \u00a9 Michael Turtle\"\/><figcaption>The sculpture of Buddha in dhyana-mudra at the eastern side of the stupa, added to the site in the 5th century AD by the Guptas. \u2013 \u00a9 Michael Turtle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Through each of the gateway entrances is an image of Buddha in human form seated under a pillared canopy.
