To walk around (something), especially as part of a ritual: "Circumambulate the city of a dreamy Sabbath afternoon.
To circumambulate means to walk or move around something in a circular or ceremonial manner. This term is often used in religious or spiritual contexts, where individuals may walk around a sacred site or object as a form of reverence or devotion. The act can symbolize various meanings, such as respect, meditation, or the completion of a ritual.
People walk around the Kaaba in a counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise) direction during the Tawaf ritual. This practice is part of the pilgrimage rituals in Islam, symbolizing the unity of believers in the worship of the One God. Pilgrims aim to keep the Kaaba to their left as they circumambulate it.
The largest bare azam in the world is Mount Kailash in Tibet, standing at approximately 22,000 feet tall. It holds significant spiritual and cultural importance in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and other religions. Many pilgrims circumambulate the mountain as part of their religious practices.
Muslims go around the Ka'abah seven times in an anti-clockwise motion because this is what prophet Muhammad did (Peace be upon Him). Muslims follow in the footsteps of Muhammad. Muslims also do this because Allah revealed this is what is required of Hajj. Going around the Ka'abah is often called Tawaf.
Muslim pilgrims worship at the Kaaba, a cube-shaped structure located in the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Kaaba is considered the holiest site in Islam, and it is the destination for the Hajj pilgrimage, which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Pilgrims perform rituals such as Tawaf, where they circumambulate the Kaaba seven times in a counterclockwise direction.

That depends on the time and place. Some ancient Indian stupas were solid on the inside, meaning that you could only circumambulate the outside. Later stupas were made to where you can walk inside and walk around a thick central pillar that contained relics. The design of the stupa changed from a large dome, to a square building with a dome top, and finally the multilayered pagoda seen in East Asia. The Japanese buried relics under the pagoda, and sometimes they would use the building to house statues. For instance, the Horyuji pagoda in Nara, Japan has five clay panoramas of the Vimalakirti Sutra, the death of the Buddha, the division of the relics, and Maitreya Buddha's paradise.
Muslims only worship the one and only God, Allah, and do not worship anything else, including a black box. The 'black box' that you are referring to is properly called the ka'bah, and is believed by Muslims to have been built by Adam originally and then rebuilt by Abraham. It is considered to be the most sacred place of worship in Islam. Muslims do circumambulate the ka'bah and do face it during prayer, however Muslims DO NOT worship the ka'bah itself. To say that would be as absurd as saying that Christians who go to Church worship the Church itself or Jews who go to the synagogue worship the synagogue itself. The ka'bah is merely symbolic and is considered to be the 'house of Allah' hence Muslims face it during prayer, but actually worship only Allah.
