Circumambulation as one of the Buddhist worship activity is a pathway around the shrines  clockwise, from East to the West. There are two kinds of  pradaksina activity refer  to schools in Buddhism, the Theravada as an honor symbol and the Mahayana as one type of meditation. Stupa as one of Buddhist worship architecture is a place to accommodate the activity itself and the worship symbol  as well.  Stupa is a conical monument erected over relics of  the Buddhas, Arhats, Kings or other great men. Stupa as a religious architecture nowadays became the image of The Buddha as known all around the world  which is also known as the symbol of the composition of robe, bowl, and walking stick from a monk. The interrelatedness  between the pradaksina as an activity and the stupa as the architecture cause some effects that related to space dimension, space quality, orientation of space, and function of the building. All the effects only influence the spatial matter but not influence the meaning of pradaksina and the stupa. Keyword: pradaksina; stupa’s typology, the interrelatedness

Religious people generally have a symbol of respect to worship the greatness of role models in their respective religions. This is motivated by different traditions, history, locations, and developments of religion and worship activities that affect the emergence of various types and forms of worship. One of them is a building named stupa. The stupa building as a means of worship accommodates worship activities in Buddhism. The stupa also functions as an object of respect in implementing worship. Padepokan Dhammadipa Ārāma's premises in Malang are architectural stupas buildings similar to the Patirupaka Stupa Shwedagon in Myanmar. Therefore, this study aims to determine the extent to which this replication process occurs in terms of typological and morphological studies, to analyze typology by classifying stupas based on the types of stupas in the world where each culture has its characteristics, and to analyze morphology based on the level of change and tendency of change. The method of this study is a qualitative study with a rationalistic approach. The study results are tabulations of typology and morphology of stupa architecture as a guide for the types and forms of stupa architecture, contributing to the science of Buddhist religious architecture in the Indonesian Archipelago.
