A chaitya is a prayer hall or shrine where people from South-Asian religions pray.
Every chaitya has a Stupa at the end. Buddhists mostly use it for their praying.
To be more correct, the Chaitya is the stupa itself.
Chaityas are very common in Nepal, Indonesia, and Cambodia.
Chaityas are mostly craved from the Indian rock-art culture.
