It is believed that it was built right after the demise of Lord Buddha. The stupa was built using lots of gold for decoration. It is believed that it is a gateway to heaven serving as a horizon between earth and sky. The eyes of Buddha painted on stupa symbolize the all-seeing ability of the Buddha.
