# Giant Ancient Stupa in Ujjain May Be Bigger Than Sanchi 2026-08-14T16:48:10+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A mound in Ujjain, estimated to be 350 feet in diameter and at least 100 feet high, is believed to conceal a Buddhist stupa that could be larger than the Great Stupa at Sanchi, which is roughly 120 feet in diameter. NDTV reports that the mound is thought to be about 2,200 years old, dating to the same era as Sanchi's famous structure. The discovery remains a mystery, as no excavation has confirmed its contents. If verified, it would be one of the largest stupas ever found in India, potentially surpassing Sanchi in size and significance. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: Madhya Pradesh, Sanchi, Ujjain Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/giant-ancient-stupa-in-ujjain-may-be-bigger-than-sanchi/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
