Sanchi Stupa complex

The Sanchi Stupa complex and its garden are very well maintained by Archaeological Survey of India. A Japanese trust also has its own Buddhist temple at the gateway to the complex. Similar Japanese contribution is also seen at a place near Bhubaneshwar in Orissa (erstwhile Kalinga kingdom) where there is a river which reportedly became blood red during the battle of Kalinga by Ashoka. Now a Buddhist temple as an offering of peace and to the memory of the battle is erected over there and has large Buddha statutes.
