A dharani pillar (Chinese: 陀羅尼幢; pinyin: tuóluóní chuáng), sutra pillar, or jingchuang (Chinese: 經幢; pinyin: jīngchuáng) is a type of stone pillar engraved with dhāraṇī-sūtras or simple dhāraṇī incantations that is found in China. Dharani pillars were usually erected outside Buddhist temples, and became popular during the Tang dynasty (618–907).
