Sānchi sculpture, early Indian sculpture that embellished the 1st-century-BC gateways of the Buddhist relic mound called the Great Stupa(stupa No. 1) at Sānchi, Madhya Pradesh, which is one of the most magnificent monuments of its time. The region of Sānchi, however, like the great centres at Sārnāth and Mathura, had a continuous artistic history from the 3rd century BC to the 11th century AD.

Answer:
Sānchi is the site of three stupas: stupa No. 1, an Aśokan foundation enlarged in succeeding centuries; No. 2, with railing decorations of the late Śuṅga period (c. 1st century BC); and No. 3, with its single toran (ceremonial gateway) of the late 1st century BC–1st century AD. Other features of interest include a commemorative pillar erected by the emperor Aśoka (c. 265–238 BC); an early Gupta temple (temple No. 17), early 5th century, with a flat roof and pillared portico; and monastic buildings ranging over several centuries.
