Explanation

Emperor Ashoka commissioned the Sanchi Stupas in the 3rd century BCE, and they remain among the best-preserved examples of early Buddhist architecture. The Great Stupa at Sanchi is particularly famous for its four intricately carved gateways (toranas) depicting scenes from Buddha's life. The Golden Temple is Sikh (Amritsar), Ranakpur is a Jain temple complex, and Ellora caves are later constructions (6th-9th century CE) containing Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain caves.
