Explanation:

- The Bharhut Stupa is a significant archaeological site known for its intricate carvings and sculptures that prominently depict Jataka tales and stories from the life of the Buddha.

- Bharhut is located in the state of Madhya Pradesh, specifically near the town of Satna.

- The stupa dates back to the 2nd century BCE and represents the early period of Buddhist art and tradition.

- While Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are also rich in Buddhist heritage, with sites like Bodh Gaya and Sarnath, Bharhut itself is situated in Madhya Pradesh.

- Andhra Pradesh has its own Buddhist history, but it is not the location of Bharhut.
