Most of these structures date back to the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. As the oldest existing Buddhist sanctuary, it served as a significant Buddhist hub in India until the 12th century A.D.
- Udayagiri Caves - Located 13 km from Sanchi, the Udayagiri Caves originate from the 4th-5th Century AD. These caves exhibit all the hallmark features that endowed Gupta art with its distinctive vitality, vigor, and expressive richness. The intricately crafted capitals, the handling of intercolumniation, the entranceway design, and the continuation of the architrave as a string-course around the structures make them a must-see.
- Sanchi Stupas - Constructed during Emperor Ashoka’s reign in the 3rd Century BC, the magnificent architecture of the Stupa is encircled by ‘Toranas’ symbolizing love, peace, trust, and courage. The Stupa’s central chamber features large hemispherical domes containing various relics of Lord Buddha. It stands as one of the best-preserved ancient stupas in central India and is recognized as a World Heritage site.
