Location
The Buddhist Vihara is one of those masterpieces that is well worth a visit. There was a Stupa a few kilometers from Sanchi. It was known by the name of Satdhara Stupa. The relics of this Stupa which definitely has a great deal of sentimental value to Buddhists are kept in the Buddhist Vihara, Sanchi. They have been enclosed in a glass casket. The glass casket has been kept in the Inner sanctum of this modern monastery.
Unlike the earlier Viharas, this Buddhist Vihara, Sanchi is not carved out of wood. Being the principal residence of the monks there is a large central area for communal activities. It is surrounded by small chambers where the monks can sleep individually.
