With great hardships and faith over many years, she and her sons completed this stupa and vow to attain perfect enlightenment to serve all beings. Buddhists believe that if one makes sincere prayers at this site, their wish will be fulfilled. Archeologists believe that beneath the stupa houses a mandala.
