MAHABODHI BRANCHES      MAHABODHI VISHWA MAITRI STUPA
 

This Stupa, a typical architectural edifice is located on the right side of the Loka Shanti Buddha Vihara. Stupa means a shrine, the object of veneration. The granite Vishwa Maitri Stupa at Maha Bodhi Society enshrines a relic of the Buddha and the entire Pali Tipitaka. Its structural design symbolically represents the fundamental teachings of the Buddha, as the four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path, Progress from the gross to the Subtle, etc.

The four Buddha figures depict the Buddha in action. The Pathway around the Stupa is used for circumambulation while reciting the Cetiya Puja.

The ornamental gateway to Stupa is of the same artistic design as that of the great Sanchi Stupa.
