“Stupas: Meaning and Symbols” by Hanlie and Sunam

A stupa is something mysterious and beautiful.

While the overall shape of the stupa closely resembles the image of a seated Buddha, every part of it – inside and out – is infused with meaning and symbolism. The base of the stupa is fashioned in the form of a many-stepped square throne or plinth, known as a “lion throne.” Above this ascend the stupa’s hemispherical dome; a square reliquary chamber, or harmika; an upper spire composed of up to 13 umbrella wheels, and a crowning finial of a lotus umbrella, crescent moon, sun disc, and dissolving flame or jewel.
