This guidebook on the Buddhist monuments at Sanchi is part of the series being published by the Archaeological Survey of India on World Heritage Sites in India.

Located 46 kms from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, Sanchi is distinguished by some remarkable specimens of the Buddhist art and architecture, ranging in time from the third century BC to the twelfth century AD.

Stupa 1 or the Great Stupa, crowned by a triple umbrella and four exquisitely carved gateways, was first built by the Mauryan emperor, Ashoka, and was subsequently enlarged, faced with stones and decorated with balustrades and staircases. The erection of Stupas 2 and 3 also dates to around the same time.

In the first century BC, the elaborately carved gateways of Stupa 1 were built during the rule of the Satavahanas. Later, during the Gupta period, several temples were built and sculptures were added. Construction continued at the site well up to the twelfth century AD. However, Sanchi faded into oblivion from the fourteenth century until it was rediscovered in 1818. Since then the monuments have been extensively excavated and conserved.

Also included in this guidebook is a comprehensive section on all the information a traveller might need to make his way to Sanchi. Details of visa formalities, transportation, tourist information offices and hotels have been provided to make the traveller's journey as comfortable as possible.
