The Dhamek Stupa is an impressive 128 feet high and 93 feet in diameter. According to an inscription dated 1026 AD recovered from the site its old name was Dharma Chakra Stupa. It is where perhaps commemorating the spot where Lord Buddha preached his first sermon. In search of the relic casket, Alexander Cunningham bored a vertical shaft through the centre down to the foundation level. He found a slab with the inscription”Ye Dharma Hetu Prabhava Hetu...” written in Brahmi script of 6 th – 7 th century AD. Further below he traced out a stupa made from Maurvan bricks. However, the present diameter of this solid cylindrical tower 28.5 metres at the base 33.35 metres in height. Its total height is 42.6 metres including the foundation. The structure consists of a circular stone drum up to a height of 11.2 metres from the ground which, rises the cylindrical mass of brick work about 6 metres above the base. Eight niches are provided in eight directions which must have contained images of Buddha. Below them runs a broad course of beautifully carved stones having geometric designs, swastika, leaf and floral patterns combined with birds and human figures.
