The site of Sanchi comprises a group of Buddhist monuments dating back to the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. It is the oldest Buddhist sanctuary in existence and was a major Buddhist centre in India until the 12th century A.D. ImageImageImageImage
The reign of Mauryan emperor Aล›oka in 3rd century BCE is considered instrumental in spread of Buddhism in Indian subcontinent. With the establishment of monolithic Aล›oka Stambha (pillar) bearing a highly elaborate capital, Aล›oka distinguished Sanchi as a site of great importance. ImageImageImageImage
Since Aล›okan 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.
