Photos Of Kesariya Buddha Stupa
Champaran, Bihar, India
Details: The Kesariya Stupa is a colossal monument that stands as a testament to the grand Buddhist heritage of ancient India. Historically, it is believed that Lord Buddha, on his final journey to Kushinagar, stayed here for a night and gave his alms bowl to the people of Vaishali, asking them to return. To commemorate this event, the Licchavis originally built a small mud stupa, which was later enlarged by Emperor Ashoka and the kings of the Gupta and Pala dynasties. For centuries, this massive structure was hidden under a mound known locally as "Raja Ben Ka Deora." It was officially discovered by Colonel Mackenzie in 1814 and later excavated by Alexander Cunningham in the 1860s. However, it wasn't until the 1998 excavation by the ASI that its true scale was revealed. The stupa is unique because of its polygonal base and terraced structure, which many archaeologists believe served as a model for the Borobudur Stupa in Indonesia. Despite suffering damage during the 1934 earthquake and recent flooding issues, the stupa remains an awe-inspiring site. The terraces are adorned with numerous statues of Buddha in various mudras, though many are now headless or weathered. It is recognized as the largest and tallest stupa in the world, surpassing even the Sanchi Stupa in height.
