Wat Buppharam

Call it Stupa, Chedi, Candi, Dagoba, Chorten or Tô, depending on the country where they are built, these words all mean the same thing.

The stupa is the earliest Buddhist religious monument and was originally only a simple mound made up of mud or clay, to cover relics of the Buddha.

From Wikipedia

Fundamentally, a stupa is essentially made up of the following five constituents:
a). A square base
b). A hemispherical dome
c). A conical spire
d). A crescent moon
e). A circular disc
