rimage. It is a Nagar panchayat in Raisen district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Toranas surround the Stupa and they each represent love, peace, trust, and courage. This world heritage site is well maintained and is open to public viewing from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM. It takes about an hour and a half for a non-research visit of the site. The 'Great Stupa' at Sanchi is the oldest stone structure in India and was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka the Great 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 symbolizing high rank, which was intended to honor and shelter the relics. It has four profusely carved ornamental gateways and a balustrade encircling the whole structure.

Ancient Telhara University was a competitor to Nalanda University. Chinese travellers Hiuen Tsang and Itsing have mentioned in their travel accounts about Telhara University as a seat of higher research. Archaeologist Cunningham, who discovered a group of six mounds and inscriptions at this site, termed the region as Telyadhaka or Teladhaka.

It was a three-storeyed university with a prayer hall and a platform to accommodate over 1,000 students/monks. These buildings consisted of court-yards, three-storeyed pavilions, towers, gates, etc. At this site Cunningham discovered a mosque, the roof of which was made up of huge slabs of stone resting on stone beams. Materials used for building the mosque were remains of a temple.

During excavation work, the ASI team stumbled upon a 1.5-foot-thick layer of ash. This suggests that the Telhara University was destr0yed and brnt like Nalanda and Vikramshila Universities. Complete details about this ancient university described in Chapter 10 in 'VishwaGuru Bharat: Echoes of the Ancients' (link: https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0CMCQ5B7G/) along with details of more ancient universities and gurukulams in the same chapter.

"While modern civilizations extend to every continent except Antarctica, most scholars place the earliest cradles of civilizations—in other words, where civilizations first emerged—in modern-day Iraq, Egypt, India, China, Peru and Mexico, beginning between approximately 4000 and 3000 B.C."
