Sanchi Archaeological Museum
Like most other museums in India, the Sanchi Archeological Museum also owes its origin to an English General accidentally uncertain upon some ancient ruins around 1818. Ultimate archaeological explorations discovered one of the richest sculptural findings of Buddhist tradition. Emperor Ashoka started the original stupa here. Following Ashoka`s foot steps other generations continued to modernize and decorate the original brick stupa with delicately sculpted stone. This period of splendid creativity extended between 3rd century BC and 13th century AD, blending Hindu and Buddhist styles and building a complex of stupas, temples, monasteries, etc that remains supreme in excellence of form and beauty of detail. There is a lion capital of an Ashoka pillar here very similar to the one found at Sarnath, the latter now the emblem of India. Other notable sculptures found here include statues of the Buddha, several bodhisattvas and early Hindu period statues of Lord Ganesha, Mahishasuramardini among others.
