Tamil Nadu houses the sculpture in Mahabalipuram.

Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru laid the foundation stone of the National Museum, New Delhi in 1955

In 1854, Walter Elliot, the Guntur commissioner in Andhra Pradesh, embarked on his exploration of Amaravati. His journey resulted in the collection of several sculpture panels, which he transported to Madras. These panels would eventually earn the moniker "Elliot marbles" in his honor.

The state of Bhopal boasts some of the most magnificent ancient structures, notably found in Sanchi Kanakhera, a charming village nestled under the gentle slopes of a hill, situated approximately 20 miles northeast of Bhopal.
