Unexpected Encounter: Right in front of the Humboldt Forum stands the Sanchi Gate, initially raising a small question mark. It is a life-sized replica of the eastern gate of the Great Stupa of Sanchi in India, filled with figures, animals, and Buddhist symbols.

Architectural Surprise: Nestled between the Berlin Cathedral and the reconstructed palace facade, it feels delightfully unexpected—this is precisely why people stop and take a closer look. The gate is a fascinating example of cultural exchange and provokes thought.

Or a legal violation:

That is my photo – someone else submitted it here. I can be seen in it and did not agree to that. Insult, hate or threat. Something else is illegal.
