Sankasia (Sankisa):


Sankassa, today known as Sankisa, in the Farukkhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, is the place where Buddha is said to have descended to earth from the Tavatimsa deva world, where he went to teach Abhidhamma to his mother and other devas. There are ruins of many st³pas and monasteries here from ancient times.
