This is Mahsi village on an Ashokan stupa. This stupa identifies the exact spot where Maha Prajapati Gautamis sanghramma stood. It is next to Pure Dildar Singh village which is the preaching hall Prasenajit raja presented to the Buddha. All the places mentioned in Huen Tsangs travelogue like Angulimalas stupa etc are found nearby. British historians chose to identify brick structures in Sahet Mahetas Anathapindadas and Angulimallyas stupa. Their judgement was flawed. All the names mentioned by Huen Tsang are sitting in the area around Mahsi village. Sravasti does not tally with Huen Tsangs writings. Heres the youtube link of the village:
