Magnificent Round Design Kadam Stupa

Magnificent Round Design Kadam Style Stupa - Pure Brass with Semi-Precious Stones

This magnificent Kadam-style stupa features a round body design made from pure brass, crafted in perfect proportion. The stupa is adorned with an elaborate parasol inlaid with semi-precious stones. As a representation of the mind and wisdom of the Buddha, it serves as an essential object of veneration on the altar and a perfect offering to a teacher.

The Kadam-style stupa is characterized by a simple yet elegant top with a parasol and thirteen descending discs below. The center is adorned with a square balcony-like structure, and the distinctive round bell-shaped bottom rests on a round double lotus base.

One unique feature is the round bell-shaped bottom. It is commonly believed that the Kadam stupa was introduced to Tibet by Atisha and the Kadam Tradition. The Kadampa stupa is based on the eighth and final of the Eight Great Stupas, symbolizing the parinirvana of Shakyamuni. Most Kadam stupas are between eight and ten inches tall and serve as ritual objects on a shrine or during the elaborate ritual of mandala offering.
