Question

Observe the picture of the stupa at Sanchi and obtain more information about it.

Short Answer

Solution

Sanchi is an outstanding specimen of Buddhist art and architecture. The Sanchi stupa is one of the best-preserved early stupas in central India. The Sanchi stupa is surrounded by a railing with four carved gateways facing in all four directions. An interesting characteristic about Sanchi stupa is that Lord Buddha has been symbolically represented by footsteps, wheels, thrones, etc. rather than by his own image. The Sanchi stupa is one of the most wonderful structures of ancient India.
