Also called Kalaśa, the Stūpī has three main parts, the inverted lotus called Mahāpadma. This is topped by a globular part and further topped by a lotus bud like form. The top most element of the tower ends in a dot which is called “bindu”. It is considered the primordial bindu, which is the beginning of form. The supreme power of Divinity which is beyond space & form, like the vast expansive sky, descends to the earth through this bindu, according to Āgamas.
