About the Book
Stupa: Art, Architectonics and Symbolism explores Buddhist architectural symbolism through the scholarly work of Giuseppe Tucci. The book examines the historical development, structural design, and spiritual meaning of stupas across Buddhist traditions. Drawing from Tucci’s field investigations, the volume offers valuable insights into ritual significance and symbolic interpretations.

The study also discusses connections with Tibetan religious art, iconography, and architectural forms. Supported by illustrative plates, the book presents both visual and analytical perspectives on stupa construction and symbolism. This publication remains an important reference for scholars, students, and readers interested in Buddhist architecture, religious symbolism, and Himalayan art traditions.
