Sanchi is
a Buddhist complex, famous for its Great Stupa, on a hilltop at Sanchi Town in Raisen District of the State of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is located in 46
kilometres north-east of Bhopal, capital of Madhya Pradesh.The Great Stupa at
Sanchi is one of the oldest stone structures in India, and an important monument
of Indian Architecture. It
was originally commissioned by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka the Great in the 3rd century
BCE. Its nucleus was a simple hemispherical brick structure built over the
relics of the Buddha. It
was crowned by the 'chhatra', a parasol-like structure symbolising high rank,
which was intended to honour and shelter the relics. The original construction
work of this stupa was overseen by Ashoka, whose wife Devi was the daughter of
a merchant of nearby Vidisha. Sanchi was also
her birthplace as well as the venue of her and Ashoka's wedding. In the 1st
century BCE, four elaborately carved toranas (ornamental gateways) and a
balustrade encircling the entire structure were added. The Sanchi Stupa built
during Mauryan period was made of bricks. The composite flourished until the
11th century.
Khajuraho
Group of Monuments are a group of Hindu and Jain temples
in Chhatarpur district, Madhya Pradesh, India,
about 175 kilometres southeast of Jhansi. They are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The
temples are famous for their nagara-style
architectural symbolism and a few erotic sculptures.Most Khajuraho temples
were built between 885 AD and 1050 AD by the Chandela dynasty. Historical
records note that the Khajuraho temple site had 85 temples by the 12th century,
spread over 20 square kilometers. Of these, only about 25 temples have
survived, spread over six square kilometers.Of the surviving temples, the Kandariya Mahadeva
Temple is decorated with a profusion of sculptures with
intricate details, symbolism and expressiveness of ancient Indian art.When
these monuments were built, the boys in the place lived in hermitages,
by being brahmcharis (bachelor)
until they attained manhood and these sculptures helped them to learn about the
worldly role of 'householder'.The Khajuraho group of temples were built
together but were dedicated to two religions, Hinduism and Jainism, suggesting a tradition of
acceptance and respect for diverse religious views among Hindus and Jains in
the region.
