鸠摩罗什舍利塔, Buddhist stone tower in Huyi District, China.

The stone structure rises with an octagonal shape, featuring intricate carvings and architectural elements that showcase traditional Chinese building methods.

The tower was built to house the relics of Kumarajiva, a prominent Buddhist monk who translated numerous sacred texts from Sanskrit to Chinese in the 4th century.

The monument represents an important connection between Indian and Chinese Buddhism, marked by its designation as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level.

The tower opens daily to visitors, with increased attendance during Buddhist festivals when devotees come to pay their respects and offer flowers.

The structure contains preserved relics of Kumarajiva, making it one of the few physical connections to this influential Buddhist translator in China.
