The stupa, which represents the Buddhist universe, is a Buddhist shrine. It is a mound-like or hemispherical structure containing relics, sometimes square and sometimes round, with towers or steps on the capital. Each point or step represents a heaven.

The topmost part is a point believed to be the highest peak of Mount Sumeru, a mythical mountain where boddhichitta* is lost in sunya*. It is used as a place of meditation. A related architectural term is chaitya, a prayer hall or temple containing a stupa.

*Boddhichitta = ("enlightenment mind" or "the thought of awakening") is the mind (chitta) that is directed with wisdom toward awakening (boddhi).

*Sunya = emptiness

Copper sheet and crystal, decorated with filigree, silver-plated, set with turquoise, lapis lazuli and coral.

You can use this stupa for many different purposes such as for yoga, for meditation sessions, for various Buddhist festive occasions and even as a precious interior decoration.
