dbo:abstract
  • Les stambhes (literalment, torre) són columnes o pilars exempts que es troben repartits per gran part del territori indi i que tenen una connotació transcendental. Segons la mitologia hindú i jainista, aquests pilars connecten cel i terra. A l'Atharvana Veda, per exemple, es fa referència a aquest tipus de monuments, en l'antiguitat, àmpliament difosos en context indi. (ca)

Different stambhas serve different purposes, including the following: * Dhvaja Stambha (Flagstaff Towers) are placed opposite the main shrine, on an axis with the main deity. * Kirti Stambha (Glorious Tower) & Vijaya Stambha (Victory Tower) are erected to commemorate victories. * The most well-known stambhas of India are the Ashoka Stambha (Pillars of Ashoka) — erected during the reign of Ashoka, spread across the subcontinent, bearing different types of royal edicts. * Adi Purana — a huge manastambha — stands in front of the samavasarana of the tirthankaras, which causes entrants to a samavasarana to shed their pride.
