History & Significance

Emperor Ashoka built the first stupa here in the 3rd century BCE to enshrine Buddha's relics. The site flourished under successive dynasties including the Shungas and Satavahanas who added the magnificent gateways. Abandoned in the 13th century, it was rediscovered in 1818 and restored by the ASI. The region has been an important cultural and historical centre for centuries, attracting scholars, pilgrims, and travellers from across the subcontinent. Over the years, various dynasties and rulers have left their mark on Sanchi, contributing to its rich architectural and cultural heritage that visitors can still appreciate today.
