The Chaitya or Stupa (Chorten) represents the Buddhist universe and serves as a Buddhist sanctuary. These structures can be either square or round and feature pinnacles or steps on the capitol. Each pinnacle or step symbolizes a heaven, with the highest point representing the peak of Mount Sumeru, a mythical mountain where Bodhicitta transitions into Sunya (Emptiness). The Stupa functions as a symbolic representation of the Buddhist cosmos and embodies spiritual significance and ancient traditions.
The pinnacle forms a teardrop-shaped crystal, with the canopy below made of copper, decorated with filigree and colored stones. The backbone is made of crystal, and the steps (13 rings) are crafted from silvered copper wire. The dome, made of quartz crystal, is adorned with four Buddha votive plaques. The base is modeled after a double lotus made of copper, decorated with fine spiral filigree and inlaid with colorful stones.
