SWAYNBHU & BOUDDHANATH



SWAYAMBHU  STUPA

The swayambhu stupa is a Buddhists site over 2500 years old. Built on a hilltop that stood out as an island  when the lake covered the valley once upon a time. It makes the spot where a flaming lotus sprouted out of a seed cast by a Buddha of another eon.

BOUDDHANATH STUPA

The massive white dome Bouddhanath  stupa , the largest stupa of the world, looms over concentric ascending terraces and presents  an impressive sight. There are 108 images of the Bouddha set around the base of the stupa. According to legend, builders used dew to mix the mortar, which they collected by spreading cloth on the ground as Kathmandu was reeling under a drought during its construction.

Location:- Inside Kathmandu valley

Some hidden information about these stupa:-

       i.            There is no difference between these stupas as both of the gods are one having different names so these both stupas have same kind of constructions.
     ii.            What is inside or below the half hemisphere? Nobody knows yet except the priest and some people.
  iii.            It is said that there is nothing inside it in fact the  hemisphere is full of mud or construction materials so there is no penetrating ways however, it is believed that the staue of Lord Buddha sitting on the lotus can be found inside it.
