Note on the design: The design described on these pages is at concept stage. It will be developed by the appointed architectural and engineering team and settled through the approval process of the Gelephu Mindfulness City Technical Review Committee. The design that is finally built may differ.
The Great White Stupa
The design is a composite. At the centre stands a faithful inheritor of the Da Bai Ta of Mount Wutai. Around it stands a mandala of eight temples in the Bhutanese architectural register. The two together give the project its distinctive character.
