We just learned about the Mshatta Facade.
Another famous Indian sculpture is the Sanchi Stupa.
A stupa is a dome shaped building that is like a temple for worship in India.
The town of Sanchi has a big one called The Great Stupa that was built sometime around 200 AD.
We learned before about the Sanchi Capital of Ashoka that was on top of a big pillar just outside the building.
Close to the Sanchi Stupa are a few other stupas, and only a few miles away is a place with over 60 stupas!
These stupas had sculptures all over them, and also some other pillars with capitals like the one with the lions.
