Its traditional Himalayan craftsmanship and symbolic beauty make it a treasured offering piece and meaningful spiritual gift.

Introduction of Enlightenment Stupa

Prior to Buddhism, great teachers were interred in mounds. While some were cremated, others were occasionally buried in a seated, meditative posture, covered by an earth mound. Consequently, the domed shape of the stupa came to symbolize a person seated in meditation, much like the Buddha when he attained Enlightenment and knowledge of the Four Noble Truths. The stupa's base represents his crossed legs in a meditative pose, the middle section signifies the Buddha's body, and the top of the mound, from which a pole rises surrounded by a small fence, represents his head. Before human images of the Buddha were created, reliefs often depicted practitioners demonstrating devotion to a stupa.
