I stopped by on my way from Khajuraho to Orchha and it remains one of my favorite memories, partly because it was for both me and my driver something unexpected, historically interesting but also like a step into a separate world. We saw people tending to their waterchestnuts on the lake, and beside the lake a small village, very clean, where all houses are still constructed from thick mud walls and ceramic tiled roofs. The museum is interesting, but the two cenotaphs were amazing - worth taking the loop around the lake. At each, there was a young local ready and willing to take us on a short guided tour, helping us to find the stairs so we could climb to cool breezes and truly beautiful, unspoilt views. There are also other abandoned palaces in the area. I hope this place will not be over-developed for tourists, though the cenotaphs and palaces need upkeep. Right now, it is a quiet and dreamlike place.

Sanchi museum is located near main Sanchi stupas site. It is a single floored white building with a compound of lush green lawns and shady trees. The Museum was established by Sir John Marshall in 1919, when he was Director General of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). When planned excavation work was started under supervision of Sir John Marshall, need for museum arose to properly store and showcase the actual findings thus museum was made in small building. Sanchi museum comprises of four galleries and one large central hall. Here variety of sculptural artefacts have been showcased for public view. These articles are from Sanchi and its nearby Buddhist and Hindu sites like Vidisha, Gyraspur, Murelkhurd etc. Among them most well known exhibit in the Sanchi museum is the Ashokan capital displayed in main hall. This piece of sculpture shows four-lions seated back-to-back and once topped Pillar No.-10 in Sanchi. It reminds us of lion capital of Sarnath. This image of four-lion is taken as national emblem of India.
