Visit the great southern stupa as an active pilgrimage site, then walk the surrounding quarter to connect devotion with regional history. Moving through Temple gate, then great stupa court, then cloister images, then local heritage quarter gives the visit a clear sequence and keeps the landscape, people or history connected to the activity itself.
