A stambha (tower in English) is a pillar or column found in India. In the context of Hindu mythology, it is believed to be a cosmic column that functions as a bond, joining heaven (Svarga) and earth (Prithvi). A number of Hindu scriptures, including the Atharva Veda, feature references to Stambhas. In the Atharva Veda, a celestial stambha has been described as an infinite scaffold, which supports the cosmos and material creation. Stambhas are also found in Indian architecture. Different stambhas serve different purposes, including the following:

  • 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)
  • スタンバ(英語:Stambha)とは、インドで使用される言葉で柱や塔を意味する語である。神話では、天国(ロカ)と地上(プリティヴィー)を繋ぐものである。 (ja)

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.
