Did you know of the connection between Brahmi script and Sanchi Stupa ?
James Prinsep was able to decipher the Brahmi script by studying the donation inscriptions in Sanchi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmi_script#Decipherment
This is detailed in this amazing book called “Ashoka : The Search for India’s Lost Emperor” – which describes how Ashoka was completely forgotten by Indian history, till dogged British archaeologists resurrected him.

Also, there is a typo
“Sunrise and sunset are the best times to visit the place, not only to escape the heat of Indian planes”
It should be “plains” I think.
