Rayappa Kasi Northern Gateway, Outer Face, Sanchi, India
The Northern Gateway is the best preserved of all the gateways, and was the second to be erected. The numerous panels relate various events of the life of the Buddha. Only one atypical panel (Right pillar, Inner face/ Top panel) shows Foreigners making a dedication at the Southern Gateway of Stupa No 1.
The Northern Gateway of Stupa 1. The Northern Gateway of Stupa 1 is one of the four richly carved gateways or toranas, surrounding Stupa 1, the Great Stupa. The Northern Gateway was the second to be erected.
The best preserved of all four gateways is the Northern one, which still retains most of its ornamental figures and gives a good idea of the original appearance of all the gateways. Like the other gateways, the Northern Gateway is composed of two square pillars surmounted by capitals, which in their turn support a superstructure of three architraves with volute ends.
Sanchi Stupa, also written Sanci, is a Buddhist complex, famous for its Great Stupa, on a hilltop at Sanchi Town in Raisen District of the State of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is located in 46 kilometres (29 mi) north-east of Bhopal, capital of Madhya Pradesh. The Great Stupa at Sanchi is one of the oldest stone structures in India, and an important monument of Indian Architecture. It was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE.

Sanchi is famous for outstanding specimen of Buddhist art and architecture, belonging to the period between the third century BC and the twelfth century AD. The most important of all the Sanchi monuments is the Sanchi Stupa. Stupas are large hemispherical domes, containing a central chamber, in which the relics of the Buddha were placed. The Sanchi Stupa is one of the best preserved early stupas in central India. The Sanchi Stupa is surrounded by a railing with four carved gateways facing all the four directions.
During the Shunga period the Sanchi Stupa was enlarged and faced with stones and decorated with railings, staircase and a harmika on the top. Around the main Stupa, there is a path for circumambulation. This path is enclosed by a railing with gates at each of the four directions. The railings and gates of the Sanchi Stupa are richly sculptured with different motifs and designs. Another interesting characteristic about the Sanchi Stupa is that Lord Buddha has been symbolically represented by footprints, wheels, thrones etc rather than by his own image. The gateways of Sanchi stupas contain ornamented depiction of incidents from the life of the Buddha and his previous incarnations as Bodhisattvas described in the Jataka tales. The Buddha has been shown symbolically in the form of tree or through other inanimate figures.
The Stupa at Sanchi is one the most wonderful structures of ancient India. It has been included by the UNESCO as one of the heritage sites of the world. The Sanchi Stupa is a fine example of the development of the Buddhist architecture and sculpture beginning from the 3rd century B.C. to the 12th century A.D. The site of Sanchi was discovered in the year 1818 by General Taylor and an archaeological museum was established in 1919y Sir John Marshall.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Sanchi Stupa, also written Sanci, is a Buddhist complex, famous for its Great Stupa, on a hilltop at Sanchi Town in Raisen District of the State of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is located in 46 kilometres (29 mi) north-east of Bhopal, capital of Madhya Pradesh. The Great Stupa at Sanchi is one of the oldest stone structures in India, and an important monument of Indian Architecture. It was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE. Its nucleus was a simple hemispherical brick structure built over the relics of the Buddha. It was crowned by the chatra, a parasol-like structure symbolising high rank, which was intended to honour and shelter the relics. The original construction work of this stupa was overseen by Ashoka, whose wife Devi was the daughter of a merchant of nearby Vidisha. Sanchi was also her birthplace as well as the venue of her and Ashoka's wedding. In the 1st century BCE, four elaborately carved toranas (ornamental gateways) and a balustrade encircling the entire structure were added. The Sanchi Stupa built during Mauryan period was made of bricks. The composite flourished until the 11th century.
Sanchi is the center of a region with a number of stupas, all within a few miles of Sanchi, including Satdhara (9 km to the W of Sanchi, 40 stupas, the Relics of Sariputra and Mahamoggallana, now enshrined in the new Vihara, were unearthed there), Bhojpur (also called Morel Khurd, a fortified hilltop with 60 stupas) and Andher (respectively 11 km and 17 km SE of Sanchi), as well as Sonari (10 km SW of Sanchi). Further south, about 100 km away, is Saru Maru. Bharhut is 300 km to the northeast.

Makutabandhana Vihar (Ramabhar Stupa) the cremation-site of Gautama Buddha's body.
After the Lord Buddha's parinirvana his body was carried into the city by the northern gate and out of the city by the eastern gate; to the east of the city was Makutabandhana, the shrine of the Mallas, and there the body was cremated. For seven days those assembled at the ceremony held a festival in honour of the relics (D.ii.160f). One-eighth of the Lord Buddha's relics were deposited in a cairn in Kusinárá and honoured by the Mallas (D.ii.167; Bu.xxviii.3). (

Indus Script is a Knowledge System
Indus Script is a linguistic knowledge system for metallurgy in Bronze Age demonstrated in Sanchi and Bharhut proclamations
Two knowledge dissemination systems are realized during the Bronze Age by Bharatam Janam:
1. Veda (Rigveda with 10600 rica-s) is a knowledge system based in Chandas literary metaphors in multiple-layers of knowledge: 1. material phenomena; 2. vijnAnam, science & culture; and 3. adhyAtma 'self and divine'. Veda was disseminated through oral recitations in prosody and metre.
2. Indus Script (with over 7000 inscriptions) is a knowledge system based in Mleccha (spoken Prakrtam language words) rendered as orthographic metaphors (hieroglyphs rebus-metonymy) in at least two layers of knowledge: 1. flora or fauna or material objects; and 2. similar sounding (rebus) words on aspects of metallurgical advances. Indus Script was disseminated through proclamations on gateways (Dholavira, Sanchi/Bharhut, Khandagiri caves) and through coins (minwork), seal impressions, ceramic stoneware bangles (badges) distributed to artisans/traders.
Indus Script is a linguistic knowledge system which continues as a legacy used in Sanchi and Bharhut sculptural monuments and sculptural extravaganza.
This is demonstrated by the hieroglyphs used in the writing system on torana-s (ornamented gate-ways of Sanchi and Bharhut) of 2nd century BCE.
Dantakara who created the Begram ivories which serve as models for the torana-s had gained proficiency in working with stone sculptures and metal artifacts as demonstrated by the ornamentations on the Sanchi and Bharhut torana-s and punch-marked/cast coins found innearby locations of Vidisha and Eran.
Sippi 'sculptor'. Image result for begram ivory toranaNorthern gate, Sanchi.
This is a demonstration of Bharatiya method of rebus writing using hieroglyphs as hypertexts.
The sites are Sanchi and Bharhut. The hieroglyphs are presented atop torana-s. This method is comparable to the Dholavira Sign Board method of writing a proclamation or set up a hoarding announcing the work done in the workshop.
Key hieroglyphs are: fish-fin and snails and lotus.
Fish-fin signifies: khambhaTA read rebus: kammaTa ‘mint, coiner, coinage’
Snail + palm spathe signifies: sippi 'snail' sippi 'palm spathe' read rebus: sippi ‘artificer, sculptor, artisan’
Lotus signifies: tAmarasa read rebus: tAmra ‘copper’.
By adding two leaf petals just below the fish-fin hieroglyph-multiplex, the sculptor conveys the message: dala 'leaf petal' rebus: dala 'company'.
Thus, the proclamation on Sanchi torana is: tAmra kammaTa sippi dala ‘copper mint sculptor company (guild)'.
Semantic determinants are indicated on Sanchi torana by the display of a sippi ‘artisan’ and karibha ‘elephant trunk’ rebus: karba ‘iron’ ibha ‘elephant’ rebus: ib ‘iron’. These two semantic determinants confirm the message of sculptor working in iron/metal mint.
Indus Script is a knowledge system conveyed on over 7000 inscriptions. The knowledge conveyes relates to the metalwork which was a revolutionary advance during the Bronze Age because of the creation of metal alloys: copper + zinc = brass; copper+tin = bronze. Work also advanced with meteoric iron, ferrite ores: magnetite, hematite and laterite. The key was the hardening of copper by adding other minerals to create karaDa 'hard alloys' which had immense utility and exchange value.
Documentation of this knowledge gained with material resources (minerals, metals and alloys) processed through furnaces, smelters was done on tablets and seals. These media became effective means for dissemination of the Bronze Age metallurgical knowledge system.
Thus, hieroglyphs of Indus Script is an effective knowledge dissemination devices about artisanal competence.
That the Begram ivories became architectural models for final work on stone or wood becomes apparent from a comparison of the ivory model of a torana with the stone torana of Sanchi and Bharhut.
Sanchi torana (Northern and Eastern gates) compared with Begram ivory: Women standing under a Toraṇa. Begram Ivory Plaque which is a prototype for Bharhut-Sanchi Stupa Toraṇa.
A series dhōraṇi adorns Bharhut stupa toraṇa: sangi 'mollusc', sangi 'pilgrim'.
sippi 'mollusc', śilpin, sippi 'artificer'.
Clearly, the legacy of Indus Script was a knowledge system known to the Begram ivory artisans and Sanchi/Bharhut sculptors of torana-s. It is a reasonable inference that the knowledge system was also known to the visitors/pilgraims who frequented the sacred monuments (i.e.viewers of the art forms could recognize and understand the meanings conveyed by the orthographic hieroglyphs on torana-s).
In summary, the Indus Script is a writing system based on the lingua franca of Bharatam Janam and a linguistic knowledge system which evolved ca 3300 BCE evidenced by a potsherd discovered in Harappa.

Iron Pillar or Ashoka Pillar
The pillar was erected by Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375 CE -- 414 CE), of the Gupta dynasty that ruled northern India 320--540 CE. It is a testament to the skill of ancient Indian blacksmiths because of its high resistance to corrosion. The height of the pillar, from the top of its capital to the bottom of its base, is around 23 ft.
The pillar was originally located at a place called Vishnupadagiri, situated in the vicinity of Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh. It is believed by some that the pillar was installed in its current location, standing within the Qutub Minar complex, by Vigraha Raja, the ruling Tomar king.
