Boudhanath Stupa

The first pagoda of Boudhanath was built after the Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo converted to Buddism in the year 600 AD. In terms of elegance and purity of the line, there is no other tower in Nepal near Boudhanath. From the white dome to the golden tower who watched Buddha's eyes, this monument is perfect. Join the Tibetan pilgrim in the morning and night corals (surrounding) and have the best atmosphere

According to the legend, the king confessed the arrested stupid tower after murdering his father unconsciously. The first pagoda was destroyed by Mughal invaders in the 14th century, so the current pagoda is a newer building.

Very symbolic architecture is essentially a reminder of the enlightenment of the Buddha. The base stands for the earth, the cumba (dome) for water, the fila (square tower) for fire, the vertex for air and the upper umbrella for air space or ether outside the space. Thirteen levels of vertices represent the stages that humans must pass to reach heaven.

Stupas was originally built to gather sacred things, some claim that Boudhanath contains the relics of the past Buddha statue Kashyapa, others include bones of Siddhartha Gautama (historic Buddha) Some also think. At the foot of the pagoda there are 147 small niches with 108 small images of Dhyani Buddha Amitabha (108 is the lucky number in Tibetan culture) and 4 groups of 5 prayer circles and 5 groups.

To reach the upper floor of the pedestal, look for a portal next to a small shrine dedicated to the small goddess Ahimi (Ajima) at the northern end of Pagoda. The pedestal is open from 5 am to 6 pm (from summer to 7 pm) and you can overlook the tendencies of pilgrims around Pagoda. These faithful followers fall to the ground in the courtyard on the east side of the stupa.

Bodhanath Stupa. According to legend, Boudhanath Stupa was built by an old female poultry woman in the 5th century, and she asked the king to build a Buddhist monk. The king agreed with it and gave as much land as he could cover it with buffalo. The woman began to cut Buffalo into thin strips and placed them end to end to form a big circle. The king noticed that he was deceived by an old lady, but he insisted on his words and the pagoda was built according to these dimensions. Today, the pagoda is the most popular place for Buddhist Buddhists in Nepal and the structure of pilgrims around the casting spells can be seen throughout the day. Especially spectacular when it is decorated with butter lamp at night. Do not forget to walk around the pagoda in a clockwise direction and turn the circle of prayer clockwise. Admission to the Stupa area (rps 150) is rare
