This monument was later rediscovered by the British in the year 1818.

It is the second largest stupa, and potrays the Life and journey of Lord Buddha which attracts a large number of tourists across the world and within the country. During the Mauryan Empire, Sanchi was also known as Bota Sriparvata, Kakanaya and Kakanava. It is a famous pilgrimage destination for the followers of Buddhism.
