From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stūpa (a Sanscritica voce masculini generis स्तूप, stūpa 'cumulus') monumenti genus aut templi pars est, aedificium in turris aut tumuli formam exstructum, plerumque conico convexo et aliquando uno aut variis chanttris sive velariis cannabinis circumdatum. In principio petreum monumentum funerarium, semisphaericum, cum tholo, caloscopio et epimedio erat. Aucto et propagato Buddhismo architectura ita mutata est, ut cosmon repraesentaret.
Stupa his quoque vocabulis significatur: chaitya, chedi. pagoda.
