Deekshbhoomi in Nagpur
Deekshbhoomi is one of the major Buddhist pilgrim centres in India. Its construction started in 1968 over four acres with quarters for monks. The stupa was built in 1978 and has been revered as a major Buddhist site since. It is the largest stupa in Asia and the largest hollow stupa in the world. The construction of the stupa is remarkable as it consists of a hemispherical two-storied building with each storey capable of housing 5000 monks. Its architectural splendour and historical significance make Deekhshabhoomi a prominent pilgrim center.
