Dagoba on Earth

I'm researching for my term paper on Borobudur, the Buddhist monument in Indonesia built around 800 AD and I came across this info which reminds me of a mudhole Luke was training on with Yoda...

"There are 504 Buddha images... of which 72 are within the trellised 'dagobas' (smaller stupas) of the circular terraces..." (Claire Holt, 1967, Art In Indonesia : Continuities And Change, Cornell University Press, London, p.42)

I wonder if Yoda's house on the Dagobah system is shaped after the little stupas on Borobudur?
