A raised platform or stage structure, particularly one used in South Asian architecture for religious or public gatherings.
From Hindi छबूतरा (chabūtrā) or related South Asian languages; likely derives from Sanskrit roots related to stages or platforms.
A chabutra in Indian architecture serves as both sacred and social space—the same raised platform might host a deity in the morning and community gatherings at night.
