West Gate, Sanchi
This is the back of the West Gate, viewed from the elevated circumambulatory platform as one looks outward from the stupa. From top to bottom: the transport of Buddha's relics to Kusinagara, the war over the relics, and the temptation of Buddha by Mara. Click here for a larger picture, and for close-ups of the left and right endpieces of the gate.
