In a stupa, which part is called Harmika?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Small square railing on the top

The direct answer is A: Harmika is the small square railing or enclosure at the top of a stupa. A stupa is a Buddhist commemorative structure. Its main dome is called the anda; above it is the harmika, and the umbrella-like central mast is the chhatra. This sequence helps identify the parts from bottom to top. Option A is correct because the harmika marks the small square upper enclosure, traditionally associated with a sacred space. Option B is wrong because drainage is a practical lower structural feature, not a named upper stupa part. Option C is wrong because a trade hall is a commercial building. Option D is wrong because a dance platform is not the harmika. Exam cue: remember “anda, harmika, chhatra”—dome, square enclosure, umbrellas.
