The reign of Mauryan emperor Aลoka in 3rd century BCE is considered instrumental in spread of Buddhism in Indian subcontinent. With the establishment of monolithic Aลoka Stambha (pillar) bearing a highly elaborate capital, Aลoka distinguished Sanchi as a site of great importance.
Since Aลokan times, subsequent powerful empires reigned over this region โ such as the Sunga, Kushana, Kshatrapa & finally Gupta dynasties โ continued to contribute to expansion of Sanchi with the construction of hypostyle, apsidal, temples, shrines, smaller stupas & viharas.
