The Great Stupa, located in Sanchi, India, represents one of the oldest stone structures in the country and is a significant symbol of Buddhist architecture. It serves as a reliquary, housing sacred relics of the Buddha, and represents the path to enlightenment through its design and symbolism. The stupa embodies key concepts of Buddhism, including the cycle of birth and rebirth, and functions as a focal point for meditation and pilgrimage. Its architectural features, such as the dome and the four gateways, symbolize various aspects of the Buddha's teachings and the journey to nirvana.

The Great Stupa at Amaravati was a large Buddhist monument built in India between the second century B.C. and the third century A.D. The Stupa was a center for religious activities and was part of a complex of religious buildings that was added to and changed many times.
Ashoka supervised its building and I imagine his people built it.
