A stūpa (Sanskrit: स्तूप, "heap") is a mound-like or hemispherical structure containing relics (such as śarīra – typically the remains of Buddhist monks or nuns) that is used as a place of meditation. A related architectural term is a chaitya, which is a prayer hall or temple containing a stupa.Although not described in any Tibetan text on stupa symbolism, the stupa may represent the five purified elements:

The square base represents earth

The hemispherical dome/vase represents water

The conical spire represents fire

The upper lotus parasol and the crescent moon represent air

The sun and the dissolving point represent wisdom

Answer:

Stupas are Buddhist religious buildings made of brick and stone. There are several kinds of stupas.

∙ Some are round and tall while some are big and small. Here are some striking features of stupas.

∙ There is a small box, known as a relic casket, placed at the centre or heart of the stupa. The box contains bodily remains of the Buddha or his followers, or things they used, as well as precious stones and coins.

∙ This box was covered with earth. Later, a layer of mud brick or baked brick was added on top. And then, the dome-like structure was sometimes covered with carved stone slabs.

∙ A path called the pradakshina patha was laid around the stupa. This was surrounded with railings. Entrance to the path was through gateways.

∙ Devotees walked around the stupa in a clockwise direction, as a mark of devotion
