About the place -
Madhya Pradesh is rich in heritage and boasts a number of sights displaying the architectural marvels of bygone era. A visit to these heritage treasures of Madhya Pradesh can be a great way to soak oneself in the glorious past and prosperous culture. Bhopal is the capital of Madhya Pradesh and monuments around the city attract the attention of history buffs and architecture admirers from all over the country.
Sanchi - The Great Stupa at Sanchi is one of the most important Buddhist monuments reflecting gem of Buddhist art and architecture, located at Sanchi Town in Madhya Pradesh, India. This Stupa is the oldest stone structure in India that was built during the Mauryan period. Originally commissioned in the third century BCE by Emperor Ashok this huge hemispherical dome with a height of 12 m (54.0 ft) consists of a central chamber where the relics of Lord Buddha are placed. Four ornamental gateways facing four directions and a balustrade surrounding the Stupa were later added in the first century BCE. Enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1989, it is counted among the best conserved ancient Stupas of central India.
Bhimbetka - The Bhimbetka rock shelters are an archaeological site in central India that spans the prehistoric Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods, as well as the historic period. It exhibits the earliest traces of human life on the Indian subcontinent and evidence of Stone Age starting at the site in Acheulian times. It is a UNESCO world heritage site that consists of seven hills and over 750 rock shelters distributed over 10 kilometers. The rock shelters and caves provide evidence of a "rare glimpse" into human settlement and cultural evolution from hunter-gatherers, to agriculture, and expressions of spirituality.
