Stupa | Chaitya | Gold Gilded

Description

Stupa , also known as chaitya, which represents the Buddhist Universe, is the Buddhist sanctuary, sometimes square and sometimes round, with spires or steps on the capital. Each spire or step represents a heaven , the uppermost portion being a point which is supposed to be the highest peak of Mount Sumeru, a mythical mountain whence the Bodhichitta loses itself in sunya. On the four sides of the chaitya the figures of four Dyani Buddhas Akshobhya, Ratnsambhav, Amitabha , Amoghasiddhi are placed. The place of Vairochana is in the centre. In some Stupa vairochana is placed to the east along with Akshobhaya.   

It is also a mound like or hemispherical structure containing relics (such as sarira– typically the remains of Buddhist monks or nuns) that is used as a place of meditation.
