It's #StupaSunday! This week's stupa is at Sanchi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanchi

There are *lots* of amazing photos on the Wikipedia page.

The stupas at Sanchi are far from all of the other main pilgrimage sites. It is also very special because of the very high quality, still intact carvings located all around the #stupa complex.

The gateways are the most distinctive feature that can help you recognize this stupa.

It is really helpful for our #sutta reading if we have a general idea of where the places are when they are mentioned. Remember, the events in the suttas took place in real places that we can even visit today.

This page gives you some PDFs of a simple map that you can print out and use as a bookmark in whatever sutta book you are reading. Then you can check it as you read.
