' The great stupa of Sanchi is the finest example of monumental architecture of the Shunga era (c.185-75 BC). It consists of a large hemispherical dome which was built over an already existing stupa ascribed to the 3rd century BC from the time of the Buddhist emperor Ashoka Maurya (reigned c.269-232 BC). The stupa was later enlarged around the 1st century BC under the Shungas and four elaborately carved gateways or toranas were added at the cardinal points. The eastern gateway consists of two square posts crowned with a group of four elephants and two shalabhanjika, females figures grasping the branch of a tree. These support a triple architrave with scrolled ends and carved figures of winged lions, peacocks and elephants. The gateway is completely covered with sculptures depicting various episodes of the life of Buddha Shakyamuni represented aniconically. The sculptures on the top architrave depict the seven Manushi Buddhas, the previous Buddhas; the middle architrave shows the Great Departure of Buddha from his palace at Kapilavastu while the lower architrave depicts a royal visit of Ashoka to the Bodhi tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment.

Hiroshi Yoshida (1876 – 1950) was a Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker. Hiroshi Yoshida is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the shin-hanga style, and is noted especially for his excellent landscape prints. Yoshida travelled widely, and was particularly known for his images of non-Japanese subjects done in traditional Japanese woodblock style, including the Taj Mahal, the Swiss Alps and the Grand Canyon.
