Complete answer: Many historians believed that Stupas must have originated from wider cultural traditions where sramanas were buried in a seated position called “chaitya” which means a shrine. The Stupas are Buddhist monuments associated with Buddhism and are primarily used to house sacred relics ( a part of the body of a saint) of Buddha and other pious saints. Stupas exist all over the world.
One of the oldest stone structures in India is The great Stupas located at Sanchi, which was primarily commissioned by the Mauryan emperor, Ashoka and he is also credited for the construction of Stupas at Sarnath as well. There are various types of Stupas like object Stupas where objects belonging to Buddha are buried, symbolic Stupas for symbolizing various aspects of Buddhist theology, votive Stupas for gaining spiritual benefits, relic Stupas where religious persons are buried and commemorative Stupas but the physical features are same for all as they all have a dome-shaped structure along with a treasury filled with objects placed within the structure. A wooden pole is placed within the central channel and is covered with mantras and gems and is called “the Tree of Life”.
