In Buddhist stupas, the Anda part is considered a symbol of what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Hemispherical mound over relics

The governing concept is the architectural symbolism of a Buddhist stupa. The Anda is the large, rounded or hemispherical dome forming the principal body of the stupa. It was built over sacred relics or a symbolic relic chamber and is therefore understood as a mound covering or commemorating relics. Thus, option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because the Anda is not a royal residence; option B refers to an ordinary utilitarian structure; and option C describes a small vessel rather than the monumental dome. In exam questions, distinguish the Anda from the harmika, the central railing-like structure, and the chhatra or umbrella above it. These parts together express the sacred character of the monument.
