The Sanchi Stupas — a group of Buddhist monuments built between the 3rd century BC and the 12th century CE — make this compact town in Madhya Pradesh one of the significant sites of Buddhist pilgrimage in India. Located a short drive northeast of Bhopal, near the Betwa River, Sanchi holds a UNESCO World Heritage designation for its ancient complex.
