stupa
This term refers specifically to a sacred architectural form in Buddhist traditions. While it shares a general shape with a dome, it is distinct from a secular dome or a generic monument because its primary purpose is to house relics and serve as a focal point for ritual circumambulation.
In a religious context, the stupa is viewed not just as a building but as a symbolic representation of the enlightened mind of the Buddha. It is typically used in formal, academic, or spiritual registers when discussing Asian art, architecture, or Buddhist practice.
