A stupa is a sacred Buddhist structure.
It often houses relics of the Buddha and revered teachers, as well as the ashes of kings.
A stupa can also serve as a monument commemorating significant events or as a waymark for pilgrims.
🔹 In Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, it is sometimes referred to as a *chedi* or a pagoda.
The *chedi* is one of the many bell-shaped varieties of the stupa.
🔹 Buddhists believe that a stupa possesses a magical power for good and helps people.
