Summary[edit]

Description
English: The great stupa of Sanchi is built on 3rd century BC. The emperor Ashoka has built eight stupas at Sanchi in the 3rd Century B.C. The four ornately carved gateways or toranas were added at the important points. This Northern Gateway is characterized by a wheel of law because it describes the miracles related to the life of Buddha.
The two square posts crowned with four elephants and two female shalabhanjika figures grasping the branch of a tree on the northern gateway. This gate is showing the sculptures depicting various episodes of Buddha’s life. 
The majestic wheel of law as a crown to the gate is broken. The gate is supported by elephants facing four directions.The gaps found therein are packed by horses and elephants.
