The stupa (Sanskrit: m., स्तूप, stūpa, Pali thupa or tope, Tibetan chorten; also chedi, dagoba or pagoda) is a Buddhist building that symbolizes Buddha himself and his teaching, the Dharma. A circular burial mound (tumulus) similar to the early stupas was originally used to bury rulers in India and has been known since prehistoric-megalithic times. In early Buddhism, relics of the Buddha and later of outstanding monks (arhats) were kept in a stupa; thus it became the ritual center of Buddha and arhat worship. The stupa is ritually circled clockwise by Buddhists (pradakshina).
