Talk:Stupa

message: In Khmer (Cambodian) a stupa is called a chedey, which is a structure to store the ashes of the cremated and also Buddhist relics. A prang is a tower like as in the Angkor Wat towers and does not serve the same purpose as a chedey. But some Cambodian stupas do adopt the style of a prang onto a stupa.

message: Why do we have, not one, but two photos of the same structure (and the same example of that structure) that, whereas related, is not a stupa? First of all, one of the photos should go, there's absolutely no need for that (even the article torana has only one photo; and, second, please put one of the beautiful photos in the gallery as the main photo, that's what we're talking about. Third, the torana picture could be in some part of the text, but even then it is only marginally referenced within the text (and, see what, a picture showing the same torana again -this time with the pagoda-, is shown). Please, someone working with this article remove the first two photos and add a more convenient one. Thanks. Nazroon 05:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: For those people visiting Thailand, of which I am sure there many, they will most commonly come into contact with the word "Chedi" which is the Thai (possibly similar in other languages) word for "Stupa". I think it would be a good idea to add this in at the beginning of the article so that it is clear when someone looks it up. Chrisjbrooks (talk) 02:50, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Thai word for it is เจดีย์ which transcribes to chediya, but with the silencer on ya (ย์) it becomes chedi. FredTC (talk) 11:17, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

message: the claims made that greco buddhist gandhara tower stupa and step pyramids are all influence of greco buddhist architecture is definitely wrong, a multi storied sanctuary depicted in andhra pradesh amaravathi plaque from 2nd cen AD is definitely the inspiration for multistoried pagodas and stepped pyramid shaped buddhist temples. The stepped pyramid stupas predating maurya period for example piprahwa stupa and pre mauryan Vanganga square apsidal stupa remains in udaiygiri hills, rajgir, bihar and the ahichchatra stepped pyramid temple are all precursors to gandhara art.
