Ancient Buddhist Stupa from Sanchi Anuradha Ranade1 Abstract Rise of Buddhism in India during the 6th century B.C. was a significant event in the history of India. Buddhists have greatly contributed to evolution of dome structures known as ‘Stupa’. The Stupa was a mound, commemorating the Buddha’s death, originally a funeral tumulus. The term Stupa is applied to monuments over the relics of the Buddha and his disciples and other distinguished persons. The earliest stupas were built by the recipients over the divided ashes of Buddha. The stupas are of three kinds: the Saririka stupas raised over body relics; Uddesika stupas built as commemorative monuments; and paribhogika Stupas erected over the articles like the bowl, the sanghati etc. used by lord Buddha. The earliest and the grandest Stupa which survives till today, is the Great Sanchi which was initially built by Emperor Asoka. Sanchi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
