Pagoda

Symbols and art

A pagoda is a tower-like structure consisting of multiple tiers structured by eaves. In East Asia, it probably developed from the Indian stupa. Hence every Buddhist pagoda also contains a relic. Pagodas actually became so popular in China that their architectural form was adopted for Daoist temples. Moreover, they were often erected in especially beautiful or famous locations.
