The given statement is True.
A stupa is a type of mound. While many different types of stupas, including round and tall, large and small, share specific characteristics. A small box is usually placed in the stupa's centre or heart. It may include the Buddha's or his followers' bodily remains (such as teeth, bones, or ashes), items used by them, precious stones, and coins. This earth-covered box was known as a relic casket. A layer of mud brick or baked brick was added. The dome-like structure was covered with carved stone slabs. A frequently laid path known as the pradakshina patha was around the stupa, and a railing was enclosed.
