The first pagodas are believed to have originated in India around the 3rd century BCE, evolving from ancient stupas, which were mound-like structures used to house relics. As Buddhism spread to other regions, particularly East Asia, pagodas were adapted and developed into various architectural styles. The earliest known pagoda in China dates back to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE).
