AnswerClick to flip back
A
Ashoka
💡 Explanation:
The Sanchi Stupa was commissioned by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE to house the relics of the Buddha. While the original core structure was built during Ashoka's reign following his conversion to Buddhism after the Kalinga War, the elaborate carved gateways (toranas) were added later by the Shunga dynasty.
