2011 Flashback - Sannathi Excavated



A Buddhist stupa that dates back to 3rd  century BC with sculptures that shows portraits of kings, ancient stupas and stories from Jataka Tales is probably one of the best destinations I have ever visited in 2011. The stupa which was excavated near Gulbarga is being restored painstakingly by historians and ASI and will soon be seen in all its pristine glory as it was more than 2000 years ago. An edict belonging to Ashoka along with the portrait of this mighty emperor is found here.
