U.P.P.C.S. (Mains) 2011
A. Sarnath
B. Sanchi
C. Bodhgaya
D. Kusinara
Answer: Sanchi
Option b is the correct answer.
Sanchi, located near Bhopal, is important for its history and old things under the ground (Archaeology). Sanchi has lots of stupas on top of a hill. Even though it's about Buddhism, it's not directly about Buddha's life. It's more about Ashoka than Buddha. Ashoka was the one who made the first stupa and set up lots of pillars here. The top part of the famous pillars with four lions standing back-to-back is now the special sign of India.
