Karnataka's Sannati Set to Become Global Buddhist Heritage Hub

Imagine a very old place in India called Sannati, near a river.

It has very ancient things from before kings like Ashoka even lived, all the way to times when important rulers called the Shatavahanas were in charge.

There's a special stone with writing from King Ashoka, and another nearby place called Kanaganahalli has a giant ancient dome called a stupa.

This stupa was broken a long time ago, maybe by an earthquake, and people didn't know what it was for years!

Now, a leader named Priyank Kharge wants to fix up these special places.

He wants to tell everyone the amazing stories these old sites hold.

The plan is to make Sannati a famous place for people from all over the world who follow Buddhism to visit and share their traditions.

This could make Sannati a very important spot for learning about history and Buddhism, like a special religious destination.
