The Budh Vihar was unearthed in 2003 and houses a statue of Buddha, with Padmapani on either side. It is believed to have been constructed during the time of Somanvansi king, Teevardeo and continued to stay in use until the rule of his grandson Mahashivgupta Balarjun in 7th to 8th century AD. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this ruin is the entry gate to the temple. The beautiful carvings here depict plenty of scenes from Buddha’s life, including love, matrimony, friendship and other ties. This emphasis confirms the influence of Buddhism in Sirpur. The northern and southern arms of this space were used as dwelling chambers.
