Explanation:
The most significant architectural feature of southeast Asia is the Buddhist stupa, known in India from the 1st century BC but no doubt dating from earlier.
An architectural descendant of the burial mound, the stupa is a brick and plaster hemisphere with a pointed superstructure (seen as an image of the cosmos).
Enshrining a relic of the Buddha, it serves as the sacred centre around which ritual occurs in an open-air setting.
