About
The Ramagrama Stupa in Nepal is a significant archaeological site and one of the original Buddhist stupas that contain relics of Gautama Buddha. Constructed between the Mauryan and Gupta periods, this stupa is unique as it remains intact since its original construction. According to legend and historical texts, it is protected by Nagas and was left undisturbed by Emperor Ashoka who aimed to redistribute Buddha's relics across his empire. Archaeological surveys have revealed a buried Kushan monastery beneath the site. As a revered pilgrimage location, it holds immense cultural and religious importance, attracting Buddhists from around the world. The stupa is recognized on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, highlighting its global significance.
