![The stupa or great white pagoda was constructed during the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644 AD), as recorded on a stone tablet there composed by the high minister Zhang Juzheng (1525–1582).[1]\nThe Sarira Stupa, named after the Sanskrit word sarira meaning 'Buddhist relic', sits on a square base with an archetypal sumeru pedestal. It is roughly 50 m (164 ft) tall, constructed of brick with a lime coating on the outside that gives its white color. The main upper frame of the stupa is shaped as an inverted bowl. The canopy of the stupa sits atop a steeple with thirteen tiers. The canopy and bead crowning the top are all made of gilded copper. The canopy also supports 252 small bells.](https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1362510016/photo/the-stupa-or-great-white-pagoda-in-beijing.jpg?b=1&s=170667a&w=0&k=20&c=rg5GLzUyN3JS8eRLxy0WTZqwi6vtk4bbGp4zvJ54SvU=)
