About BUDDHIST STUPA, KESARIYA 👇

SPREAD OVER AN AREA OF 23.81 ACRES THIS STRUCTURE REPRESENTS THE RUINS OF BUDDHIST STUPA WHICH WAS EARLIER LOCALLY KNOWN AS DEORA OR GARH OF RAJA BENA OF PURANIC TRADITION. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS STUPA WAS BUILT AT THE SPOT WHERE BUDDHA HAD OFFERED ALMS BOWL TO THE MONKS WHO FOLLOWED HIM WHEN HE DEPARTED FROM VAISHALI AFTER DELIVERING THE LAST SERMON IN WHICH ME ANNOUNCED HIS APPROACHING NIRVANA. THIS STUPA WAS CONSTRUCTED IN TWO PHASES THE FARLIER STUPA BELONGING TO SUNGA-KUSHANA PERIOD WAS EXPANDED DURING LATE GUPTA PERIOD IN ABOUT 5 6 CENTURY CE.

EARLIER EXPLORED BY MACKENZIE IN 1814 AND ALEXANDER CUNNIGHAM IN 1861, ITS REGULAR EXCAVATION WAS INITIATED BY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA THROUGH PATNA CIRCLE IN 1998 AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RESUMED BY ITS EXCAVATION BRANCH 111 IN 2018.

THE STRUCTURE IS A SIX-TERRACED CIRCULAR BUDDHIST STUPA OF BRICKS LAID IN A YERY THIN LAYER OF MUD MORTAR AND CAPPED BYA LARGE CYLINDRICAL DRUM OF SOLID BRICK WORK ABOUT 10 METRES HIGH AND ABOUT 22 METRES IN DIAMETER THE TOTAL HEIGHT OF THE EXTANT STUPA IS ABOUT 31.5 METRES AND THE DIAMETER IS ABOUT 123 METRES. HOWEVER RECENT EXCAVATIONS HAVE INDICATED THE PRESENCE OF ANOTHER TERRACE IN WHICH CASE THE HEIGHT AND DIAMETER OF THE STUPA WILL GET UPWARD REVISION MAKING THIS STUPA THE LARGEST IN INDIA. ON THE LOWR THREE TERRACES THERE ARE A GROUP OF THREE CELL SHRINES ON FOUR CARDINAL DIRECTIONS AS WELL AS THEIR INTERSECTIONS. ON THE FOURTH TERRACE THE FLANKING CELLS ARE SMALLER WHILE ON THE FIFTH TERRACE THERE IS ONLY ONE CELL THESE TWO TERRACES HAVE CELLS ONLY ON FOUR CARDINAL DIRECTIONS DUE TO LIMITATION OF SPACE ON THE REDUCED PER METER THE SIXTH OR UPPERMOST TERRACE HAS CYLINDRICAL DRUM ONLY. THE GROUP OF CELLS IS SEPARATED BY STELLATE OR POLYGONAL DESIGNS COMPARABLE TO THAT AT LAURIYA NANDANGARH STUPA IN WEST CHAMPARAN DISTRICT. EACH TERRACE IS CONNECTED WITH NEXT UPPER AS WELL AS LOWER TERRACE BY A FLIGHT OF STEPS CONCEALED WITHIN POLYGONAL DESIGNS AND PLACED AT DIFFERENT PLACES FOR DIFFERENT TERRACES THERE IS EVIDENCE OF REPAIR AT ITS DRUM PERHAPS CONDUCTED BY SPOONER IN 1911-12.

POSSIBLY ALL THE CELLS ONCE CONTAINED IMAGES OF BUDDHA BUT THEY ARE NOW PRESERVED ONLY IN A FEW CELLS AND ARE IN A HIGHLY DILAPIDATED CONDITION. THEY ARE PLACED OVER A PEDESTAL ATTACHED TO THE BACK WALL OF THE CELL SOME CELLS MAVE IMAGES ON THE SIDE WALLS AS WELL. THESE IMAGES ARE MADE UP OF CLAY MIXED WITH LIME AND BRICK JELLY TO WHICH STUCCO PLASTER IS GIVEN, SOMETIMES WITH A RED COLOUR WASH OVER IT ONLY THE LOWER PARTS (WAIST LEGS AND LOWER ARMS) OF THE IMAGES EAST NOW AND THAT ALSO IN SOME CASES ONLY WHICH SHOW THAT BUDDHA WAS SEATED CROSS LEGGED OVER LOTUS PETALS IN BHUMISFARSH MUDRA THESE IMAGES ARE COMPARABLE TO THOSE AT NALANDA AND VIKRAMSHLA MAHAVIHARAS WHICH SUGGESTS THAT THE STUCCO ART TRADITION WAS ACTIVE IN THIS REGION OVER THE PERIOD RANGE OF 5TH TO 10TH CENTURY CE.
