Stupa

A stupa is a dome-shaped structure that serves as a Buddhist monument and a symbol of enlightenment. Traditionally, it contains relics or sacred objects associated with the Buddha or other revered figures. The design reflects the path to enlightenment, with each part representing different spiritual elements, such as stability, mindfulness, and the universe. Stupas are often used as places of meditation and pilgrimage, embodying Buddhist teachings and history. Their architecture varies across regions but consistently functions as a spiritual focal point that inspires reflection and devotion.
