Teave

Kiired faktid: Üle 3000 iidse mündi ja peened kiviskulptuurid Paramara dünastiast täidavad siinseid galeriisid. Mõned parimad budistlikud reliikviad lähedalasuvast Sanchist, sealhulgas originaalsed Maurya perioodi esemed, on välja pandud kolmel korrusel.

Esiletõstmised: Üks galerii hoiab endas originaalseid liivakivist värava fragmente Sanchi stuupa nr 3 juurest, mis on uhke detailsusega nikerdatud üle 2200 aasta tagasi. Sa võid seista sentimeetrite kaugusel nendest õrnadest nikerdatud stseenidest igapäevaelust ja budistlikust sümboolikast, mida ükski kaasaegne peitel ei suudaks korrata.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Start on the top floor and work your way down to avoid crowds, as most visitors enter from the ground level.
The coin gallery on the first floor holds rare silver punch-marked coins from 600 BCE, look for the tiny animal symbols stamped by hand.
Photography is allowed without flash, but the sculpture gallery on the ground floor has the best natural light in the late morning.
Skip the audio guide and instead hire one of the knowledgeable in-house guides near the ticket counter for a more engaging tour.
