Ancient Vihara: Hidden Ruins and the Ass Curse | The Great Stupa at Sanchi Explained | Part 3 of 3

In the final episode of our Sanchi World Heritage series, we step beyond the Great Stupa and explore the lesser-known Vihara complex — the ancient monastic spaces where Buddhist monks once lived, studied, and practiced. Walking through the ruins of rooms and temple remains at Sanchi, we uncover fascinating architectural elements such as the amlaka, understand their symbolic and structural role in Indian temple design, and examine rare carvings including the intriguing “ass-curse” motif. With insights from an archaeologist, this episode connects Buddhist philosophy, monastic life, symbolism, and ancient Indian architectural evolution — revealing how Sanchi was not just a monument, but a living spiritual and intellectual center. 📍 Location: Sanchi World Heritage Site, Madhya Pradesh, India 🎥 Episode 3 of the Sanchi Series ▶ Watch Episode 1 – The Great Stupa at Ground Level -    • The Great Stupa at Sanchi Explained | Part...   ▶ Watch Episode 2 – Upper Stupa & Temple 17 Exploration -    • The Great Stupa at Sanchi Explained | Part...   ▶ Bodhi Tree at Sanchi -    • The Bodhi Tree at Sanchi that Connects Ash...   If you are passionate about heritage, archaeology, Buddhist history, ancient Indian art, and architecture — this episode completes the journey.
