About Sanchi Stupa in Bhopal

The Sanchi Stupa in Bhopal is one of the oldest stone structures in India. Originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC, it had about half the diameter of today's stupa, which is the result of enlargement by the Sungas. Sanchi is a Buddhist pilgrimage site, 55 kms north-east of Bhopal city. It is unique in having the most perfect and well preserved stupas anywhere in India. Sanchi Stupa in Bhopal is counted among must visit tourist attractions of Madhya Pradesh state in Central India.

Sanchi Stupa History

It was originally commissioned by Mauryan emperor Ashoka the Great in 3rd century BCE.In Sanchi history, during ancient times, Sanchi was known by various names like Kakanava, Kakanaya, Kakanadabota and Bota-Sri Parvata. It was distinctively known for remarkable specimens of Buddhist art and architecture since the early Mauryan period. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1989. Buddhist Stupa at Sanchi is an excavated site which was rediscovered by British India officer General Taylor in 1818 but actual restoration work was initiated from 1912 to 1919 under the supervision of Sir John Marshall.

Sanchi Stupa Architecture

The dome of Buddhist Stupa at Sanchi was set on a high circular drum meant for circumambulation, which could be accessed via a double staircase. The southern gate of Stupa No 1 (thought to be the oldest and main entrance to the stupa) has depictions of the story of the Buddha's relics, starting with the War over the Relics. Stupa No2 was established later than the Great Stupa, but it displays the earliest architectural ornaments.

These monuments record the genesis, efflorescence and decay of Buddhist art and architecture over a period of 1300 years, from the 3rd BC to 12th century AD. Sanchi Stupa in Bhopal is mainly built during Mauryan dynasty rule.

Jitesh's 5 days trip to Bhopal

He had a great experience with this trip. Cab driver was very friendly and was explaining us more about each temple and history behind it. On ground we didn’t had to face any challenges as booking was done in advance however we had to follow up multiple times to get hotel vouchers before the start o

f the trip. Further travel triangle agent was not responding to me for getting hotel vouchers. Before booking the trip agent was very active and helpful but after booking she didn’t bothered to respond also. It was commitment from Club 7 Vacations which ensured everything was in place

We're still basking in the warmth of our incredible 13D/12N Madhya Pradesh adventure & we can't thank you enough for making it truly unforgettable! Your meticulous planning, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were in good h

He was the epitome of patience, kindness, and professionalism. His spotless vehicle & warm smile were a constant source of comfort throughout our journey. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to him! We also appreciated your regular check-ins, ensuring everything was okay and if we needed anything. It felt like having a friend looking out for us from afar. When we requested a few last-minute changes, you accommodated them with ease, putting our minds at ease. Your carefully crafted itinerary allowed us to soak in the beauty of Madhya Pradesh without feeling rushed. We saw so much more than we expected, thanks to your expertise!

The trip was wonderful, however there were some loopholes as well. The package was a little costly as per the services provided. Indore hotel was very nice and decent, but Ujjain hotel was not as I expected. Cab drivers were polite in nature but cooperation and coordination was missing. Overall it

was a good trip.
