The site is located nearly an hour’s drive from Sanchi and its tourist hordes, on the banks of a green, tree-covered hill overlooking the Halali River.
The stupas are spread out over the crest of the hill with the largest one – numbered Stupa 1- a huge 13 meters high, making it almost as large as the Great Stupa at Sanchi. A small chamber – little more than a niche in the otherwise unbroken wall – has been created on the stupa’s outer wall. This niche reveals the original brick work, which has been dated to Ashokan times. There are some ruins near the stupa comprising a monastery and temple remains which are collectively called siddh ka makaan which is indicative of Satdhara’s most enlightened monks once having lived there.
A beaten track parts the thick forest cover at Satdhara and gives access to the eight stupas here that can be viewed. There are more in the forest region but the ASI has not yet given access to that part of the area.
