Sirpur, also referred in medieval era texts as Sripur or Shripura (city of wealth), is a town on the banks of Mahanadi in Chhattisgarh. The site became archaeologically significant after a visit and report on a Lakshmana temple in 1872 by Alexander Cunningham, a colonial British India official.

Sirpur is mentioned in the memoirs of the 7th century Chinese traveler Hieun Tsang as a location of many Buddhist monasteries and Deva (Hindu) temples.

The Sirpur site excavations particularly after 1953, and more recently after 2003, have yielded 22 Shiva temples, 5 Vishnu temples, 10 Buddha Viharas, 3 Jain Viharas, a 6th/7th century market and snana-kund (bath house). The earliest archaeological findings are dated to the late part of the 5th-century.

The above floor plan is one of the largest vihara excavated so far in Sirpur. It is called the Anand prabha or Ananda prabhu site. The town has numerous mounds yet to be excavated.

This is a JPEG format plan and architectural drawing of a historic Indian temple or monument. The relative scale and relative dimensions in this architectural drawing are close to the actual but neither exact nor complete. The plan illustrates the design and layout, but some intricate details or parts of the temple may not be shown. In cases where exact measurements were not feasible, the drawing uses best approximations and rounds the best measurements feasible.
