Question 4 of 6
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about stupas:
- They are unique to Buddhism
- The stupa at Sanchi was built during the time of Ashoka
- Royal patronage was the sole form of patronage for their construction in ancient India
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
Ans: d.
Stupa, vihara and chaitya are part of Buddhist and Jaina monastic complexes but the largest number belongs to the Buddhist religion. One of the best examples of the structure of a stupa in the third century BCE is at Bairat in Rajasthan. It is a very grand stupa having a circular mound with a circumambulatory path. The great stupa at Sanchi (which will be discussed later) was built with bricks during the time of Ashoka and later it was covered with stone and many new additions were made. Subsequently many such stupas were constructed which shows the popularity of Buddhism.
From the second century BCE onwards, we get many inscriptional evidences mentioning donors and, at times, their profession. The pattern of patronage has been a very collective one and there are very few examples of royal patronage. Patrons range from lay devotees to gahapatis and kings. Donations by the guilds are also mentioned at several sites.
