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.
