Product Description

Buddhist Enlightenment Stupa aka Stupa of the Conquest of Mara: width — 21.5 cm, height — 36 cm

This stupa symbolizes the 35-year-old Buddha's attainment of enlightenment under the bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, where he conquered worldly temptations and attacks manifesting in the form of Mara.
