1 Rupee - Elizabeth II Buddhism, Sri Lanka

The Buddhist motif shown here represents a stupa. The stupa (Sanskrit for heap) is an important form of Buddhist architecture, though it predates it. It is generally considered to be a sepulchral monument - a place of burial or a receptacle for religious objects. At its simplest, a stupa is a dirt burial mound faced with stone.
