Bodhi Tree Worship Panel at Sanchi

This radiant close-up captures a beautifully carved panel from the torana (gateway) of the Sanchi Stupa, bathed in morning sunlight. The scene depicts a congregation in reverence around the Bodhi Tree, a symbolic representation of Buddha’s enlightenment. Layered human figures and ancient architecture carved in sandstone showcase the narrative depth and devotional artistry of early Buddhist sculpture from the Mauryan period.
