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 emperor
Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE. Its nucleus was a simple hemispherical brick structure
built over the relics of the Buddha. .It is a perfect example of combination of solid
figures. A big hemispherical dome with a cuboidal structure mounted on it. Height of
