**Satdhara** is an archaeological site, consisting of [stupas](/source/Stupa) and [viharas](/source/Vihara), located 9 km (5.6 mi) west of [Sanchi](/source/Sanchi), [Madhya Pradesh](/source/Madhya_Pradesh), [India](/source/India).[1][2][3]

There are four groups of stupas surrounding [Sanchi](/source/Sanchi), within a radius of twenty kilometers: [Bhojpur](/source/Bhojpur_Stupas) and [Andher](/source/Andher_Stupas) in the southeast, [Sonari](/source/Sonari_Stupa) to the southwest, and Satdhara to the west.[1] Further south, about 100 km away, is [Saru Maru](/source/Saru_Maru).

All these stupas were found by [Major Cunningham](/source/Major_Cunningham), who took the relics found in the center of the stupas to England. He donated them to the [British Museum](/source/British_Museum) and the [Victoria and Albert Museum](/source/Victoria_and_Albert_Museum).[2]
