The white stupa was designed by Ajahn Vipassi and Sister Jotaka. It started out as no more than a cardboard cut-out, like a stage prop, and was never intended to last much beyond the opening ceremony in 1985. However, it was gradually extended as time went on; with cake tins being used to form the layered umbrella-spire as one of the more creative additions. |
Over the years it has become an object of much love and devotion, to the extent that a family of Sri Lankan supporters, as an act of their faith in Amaravati, have built a replica of the stupa in Sri Lanka - right down to reproducing the cake tins!
