Andher Stupas

Stupa No.1 can be dated to about 150 BCE.[1] It is the largest of the three stupas, and it has the remains of a barrier of stone surrounding it (Vedika or "railing").[2]

Stupas No.2 and No.3 revealed inscriptions in Brahmi with the same names as the monks whose relics were found in Sanchi Stupa No.2 and Sonari (Vachi and Moggaliputa for stupa No.2 and Haritiputa for stupa No.3.[1]

There are altogether four groups of stupas surrounding Sanchi within a radius of about twenty kilometers: Bhojpur and Andher in the south-east, Sonari in the southwest, and Satdhara to the west.[3] Further south, about 100 km away, is Saru Maru.
