It is said that one of Buddha’s remaining after cremation is buried in the Stupa and started construction.

Above the central spire with the all 4 seeing eyes of wisdom, the rise the 13 steps to nirvana. 108 images are set in around the dome. Prayer wheels are mounted around the perimeter wall. It is said that each spin of a prayer wheel here is the equivalent of reciting the mantra embossed on it 11,000 times
