Home›Religious and Sacred Buildings›Buddhist Temples and PagodasGroupBuddhist Temples and PagodasTemples, pagodas, stupas and monasteries in this atlas's Religious and Sacred Buildings subcategory built for Buddhist worship or monastic practice. Belongs here: any building this atlas records as a Buddhist place of worship or monastic community, across its many regional traditions (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana and others alike). Does not belong here: a Hindu temple or a Southeast Asian temple whose own tradition is not Buddhist, each gathered under its own separate group in this subcategory, since this atlas keeps those two traditions distinct from Buddhism even where their architecture visibly overlaps.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested400 BCE 1Origin RegionWell-attestedIndia 1Browse ByAll Buddhist Temples and PagodasBuddhist Temples and Pagodas10 entriesBuddhist Temples and PagodasFilter Results10 entriesBuilding FamilyAllBuddhist Temples and Pagodas (10)StyleAllIndian Rock-Cut Architecture (1)Japanese Traditional Architecture (3)Javanese Traditional Architecture (1)Tibetan Architecture (1)MaterialAllBrick (1)Sandstone (1)Stone (1)Timber (3)Building TypeAllBuddhist Stepped-Pyramid Temple (1)Buddhist temple (1)Buddhist Temple Complex (1)Jain temple (1)Rock-cut Hindu temple (1)Shrine (1)Temple (2)Zen Buddhist Temple (2)Completed YearAll639 (1)752 (1)760 (1)1397 (1)1450 (1)1641 (1)1956 (1)Standing StatusAllStanding (10)GroupAllBuddhist Temples and Pagodas (10)PlaceAllChina (1)India (2)Indonesia (1)Japan (4)Thailand (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 10Badami cave templesReligious and Sacred Buildings3 linksBorobudurReligious and Sacred Buildings3 linksErawan ShrineReligious and Sacred Buildings1 linkJokhangReligious and Sacred Buildings4 linksKailasa TempleReligious and Sacred Buildings1 linkKinkaku-jiReligious and Sacred Buildings3 linksRyoan-jiReligious and Sacred Buildings2 linksSanmonReligious and Sacred BuildingsShisen-dōReligious and Sacred Buildings1 linkTodai-jiReligious and Sacred Buildings3 linksSources1.
