historical place is always an exciting experience. It is a fascinating adventure. I had one such experience during the last summer vacations, when I visited Bhopal. With my family, I reached Bhopal by train. After some rest, we undertook a visit to Bhopal. Bhopal is a historical city. We visited the Sanchi Stupa first. The 'Sanchi Stupa' is located about 46 km away from Bhopal in a small place called Sanchi. Sanchi is a small village in Raisen District of the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is a religious place with historical and archaeological significance. It is the location of several Buddhist monuments. The place is famous for the Stupas (brick mounds) which were built on the top of a hill. The Great Stupa at Sanchi is the oldest stone structure in India. It was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka the Great. It has four profusely carved ornamental gateways and a balustrade encircling the whole structure. By noon, we had completed the tour of Sanchi Stupa and returned back. I enjoyed my trip to the Sanchi Stupa very much. It was really an unforgettable experience which apart from being intellectually rewarding gave us a glimpse of our country's proud history

Stupa No. 2: the first Buddhist reliefs Main article: Sanchi Stupa No. 2 Mason's marks in Kharoshti indicate that craftsmen from the north-west were responsible for foreign reliefs of Stupa No. 2.[26] This medallion was made circa 115 BCE.[27] The stupas which seem to have been commissioned during the rule of the Shungas are the Second and then the Third stupas (but not the highly decorated gateways, which are from the following Satavahana period, as known from inscriptions), following the ground balustrade and stone casing of the Great Stupa (Stupa No 1). The reliefs are dated to circa 115 BCE for the medallions, and 80 BCE for the pillar carvings,[27] slightly before the reliefs of Bharhut for the earliest, with some reworks down to the 1st century CE.[22][27] Sunga period railings were initially blank (left: Great Stupa), and only started to be decorated circa 115 BCE with Stupa No.2 (right).[28][29] Stupa No. 2 was established later than the Great Stupa, but it is probably displaying the earliest architectural ornaments.[25] For the first time, clearly Buddhist themes are represented, particularly the four events in the life of the Buddha that are: the Nativity, the Enlightenment, the First Sermon and the Decease.[30]

It is very less visited monument in sanchi because you have to get down through the monetary to this stupa. It is based on the relic of Buddha's 10 deciple. It is build in 2nd century BC. It has no gates like stupa 3 . It has different small sculptute both outer and inner wall

Mist of the people miss visiting this stupa 2. it is little far from the stupa 1. However it is a replica of Stupa 1 but it does not have the entries. Try not to miss this . It is on the lagt of the stupa one after the Monastery 5.
