Buddhist Stupa
A Buddhist Stupa is a dome-shaped structure that serves as a sacred monument in Buddhism. It typically contains relics, such as remains of the Buddha or other important figures, and is used for meditation and worship. Stupas symbolize the path to enlightenment and are often adorned with intricate carvings and symbols.
Stupas can be found in various forms across different cultures, with notable examples like the Sanchi Stupa in India and the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar. They are usually built in a circular shape, representing the universe, and are often surrounded by a walkway for circumambulation, a practice that enhances spiritual devotion.
