The original structure was reported to be one of the tallest of its kind in the region, reaching a height of nearly 60 feet. Its base diameter spans approximately 40 feet, providing a solid foundation for the tapering column. The exterior is often finished in white, representing peace and sacrifice. The design incorporates tiered platforms where people can offer flowers. Surrounding the stupa is a paved area for gatherings and memorial services. The use of reinforced concrete and local stone ensures the structure's longevity against the elements. -
