Archaeological evidence suggests multiple phases of construction, mainly during the Mauryan and later periods. The massive circular structure is built with layered bricks and shows advanced engineering of its time. The surrounding area has a calm rural landscape that adds to its spiritual aura. The site is important for understanding the spread of Buddhism in eastern India. Kesariya Buddha Stupa continues to attract pilgrims, historians, and heritage enthusiasts.
