Boudhanath Stupa || Lighting 108 Butter Lamps || Nepal || बौद्धनाथ
Boudhanath Stupa is the biggest stupa in Nepal & the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet.
It's one of the biggest Buddhist stupas in the world keeps an eye out in every direction.
Boudhanath is the largest stupa in Nepal which was probably built during the 14th century after the Mughal invasions. Following the Chinese invasion in 1959, many Tibetans came to this stupa which today has become one of the most important centres of Tibetan Buddhism. It remains a significant place of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and Nepalis. Located in the town of Boudha towards the eastern outskirts of Kathmandu, Boudhanath looks like a giant mandala. One can roam around to buy local Tibetan stuff from the vendors around the stupa. Surrounding Boudhanath Stupa are narrow streets which are lined with colourful homes and beautiful Tibetan Buddhist monasteries.
