Nineteenth-century Europeans were very interested in the stupa at Sanchi, because:

  • The ruins of the most wonderful ancient buildings at Sanchi Kanakhera appear to be the object of great interest to the Europeans
  • In fact, the French sought Shahjehan Begum’s permission to take away the eastern gateway, which was the best preserved, to be displayed in a museum in France.
  • For a while some Englishmen also wanted to do the same, but fortunately both the French and the English were satisfied with carefully prepared plaster-cast copies and the original remained at the site, part of the Bhopal state.

Europeans were keen interested in taking away the eastern gateway as they wanted to preserve it and to display it in a museum.
