Kesaria stupa, Buddhist stupa in East Champaran, India
The Kesaria stupa reaches a height of 104 feet with a circumference of 400 feet, standing as a massive circular structure in Bihar state.
Archaeological excavations reveal that the initial construction occurred during Emperor Ashoka's reign in 250 BCE, with later modifications by the Gupta Dynasty.
The terraces of this religious monument contain numerous carved figures of Buddha in different positions, representing essential Buddhist teachings and meditation practices.
Visitors can reach the stupa by taking a flight to Patna Airport, followed by a 120-kilometer journey through well-connected roads to East Champaran district.
The Archaeological Survey of India confirms this structure as the tallest excavated stupa globally, surpassing the height of Indonesia's Borobudur stupa.
