An important center of Buddhist culture, Sanchi encompass so many Buddhist Viharas and shrines. One could be able to see all forms of Buddhist architecture here. Among the relics of this great culture, Viharas takes the predominant position. Formerly all the Viharas were made up of woods that are ornamented with exquisite carvings, but the modern monasteries lack such artistic structure.
The Viharas are the dwellings of the monks and being the hub of all communal activities of a large group these structures hold a central area where group activities are taking place. So many individual chambers where the monks take their rest border this region. One of the valuable attractions in the modern monastery at Sanchi is the relic of the Satdhara Stupa, which is placed in a glass casket in the inner sanctum.
