About

Chaukhandi Stupa is an important Buddhist stupa originally built during the Gupta period (4th-6th centuries) as a terraced temple. Later, it was modified to its present shape by adding an octagonal tower in the 16th century to commemorate the visit of Humayun, the Mughal ruler. This stupa marks the spot where Buddha met his first disciples, making it a significant site in the history of Buddhism.
