| Due to its particular position on top of the hill, this stupa is
rectangular in shape. It rests on a three-tiered base with lotus-flower markets in
the four corners. The main body of the stupa itself is square with four seven-tiered
bronze parasols in its corners. From foot to tip, the stupa measures twenty-one
meters. A terrace at the foot of the stupa offers an unrivalled panoramic view of
the town.
