Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In Buddhist architecture, a stupa is a mound-like structure with several key components that are stacked on top of each other. The correct sequence from bottom to top is as follows:
Anda (the base or platform): This is the bottommost part, which forms the base of the stupa.
Yashti (the central shaft): This is the section above the base, which rises vertically and often has a cylindrical or square shape.
Harmika: This is a small square railing or fence-like structure that sits on top of the Yashti. It symbolizes the transition from the worldly to the sacred, separating the sacred space from the secular world.
Chhatri: The Chhatri is the topmost part of the stupa and can vary in design. It typically features a parasol-like structure or an umbrella-like element, often with multiple tiers.
So, the correct sequence from the bottom to the top of a stupa in Buddhist architecture is (B) Anda, (C) Yashti, (A) Harmika, and (D) Chhatri, which corresponds to option (4).
