The stupa stands on a square base with two steps. Above it rises a crystal dome. At the front, a gau is attached, containing a Buddha votive plaque. The dome is decorated with arched filigree ornaments. Above the dome follows a crystal mast, encircled by winding wire. Shawl elements are arranged at the sides, above them a parasol. The uppermost finial is formed by moon and sun. The sequence of square and circular forms belongs to the essential nature of a stupa.
The copper base, the dome, and the shawls are finished with filigree work. Fine wires are laid into spiral forms, filled with small arched elements, and joined into a continuous pattern. Set stones of lapis lazuli, turquoise, and coral add subtle color accents.
The stupa is regarded as an architectural expression of the cosmic principle and as a place of contemplation and focus.
