Description
A stupa (from Sanskrit: m., ?????, st?pa, P?li: ??? “th?pa”, literally meaning “heap”) is a mound-like structure containing Buddhist relics, typically the remains of Buddha, used by Buddhists as a place of worship. After “stupa”, “chorten” is the most commonly encountered English term. The term “reliquary” is sometimes used, after a Roman Catholic functional equivalent. The Wat Phra Kaew (Thai: Wat Phra Kaeo, IPA: [wát p?rá? k???w], Pronunciation, English: Temple of the Emerald Buddha; full official name Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram, Thai: [wát p?rá? s?? rát.ta.ná? sà?t.sa.da?.ra?m]) is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple (wat) in Thailand. It is a “potent religio-political symbol and the palladium of Thai society”. It is located in the historic centre of Bangkok (district Phra Nakhon), within the precincts of the Grand Palace Source:Wikipedia
