A stupa is a type of Buddhist structure that is typically a dome-shaped or mound-like monument. It is often used as a place of meditation, contemplation, and worship in Buddhism. Stupas can vary in size and design, but they generally consist of a solid base, a dome-shaped structure, and sometimes a spire or pinnacle on top. They are commonly filled with sacred relics, scriptures, or symbolic objects. Stupas are found in various Buddhist regions and countries, such as India, Nepal, Tibet, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia, and they hold significant religious and cultural importance in these areas.
