Common features in stupas are :
1. Generally there is a small box which is known as ‘relic casket’ and placed at the centre or heart of the stupa. This may contain bodily remains such as teeth, bone or ashes of the Buddha or his followers or things they used, as well as precious stones and coins.
2. Around the stupa the path is known as the ‘pradakshina patha’ and is found in most of stupas.
