The Parinirvana Stupa is a sacred Buddhist monument that commemorates the death, or Parinirvana, of Gautama Buddha. This stupa is a symbolic structure built to honor the final moments of Buddha's life when he achieved enlightenment and passed away. It serves as a place of reflection and pilgrimage for Buddhists, reminding them of the impermanence of life and the ultimate goal of reaching Nirvana. The design and significance of the Parinirvana Stupa vary across different Buddhist traditions and cultures.
