About The Great Stupa 3 at Sanchi:
The Sanchi Stupa in Madhya Pradesh is the best specimen of stupa art. A Stupa is a dome-shaped mound that mimics the funerary mounds used to mark the graves of great kings. The first Buddhist stupas enshrined the Buddha’s physical relics (bones and teeth), and thus gave him royal status. Another sign of this claim is the three-layer stone umbrella visible at the top of the stupa, since the umbrella was also a royal symbol.
Smaller miniature Stupas were also placed around the main, as is the case in Bodh Gaya, Gandhara and Nepal, where the pilgrims placed the stone replicas, sometimes with a Buddha statue within. The Gandhara stupas show great development in decorative sculptural elegance with a higher base.
Sanchi’s Great Stupa is the oldest surviving Buddhist monument. The original Stupa was built by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka (reigned 269-32 BCE), but enlarged to its present form in the 1st CE. The Stupa later fell into ruins, but was restored by the Archeological Survey of India in the 19th and 20th centuries.
