Boudhanath Stupa In Kathmandu
Boudhanath (also called Boudha, Bouddhanath or Baudhanath or the Khasa Caitya) is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Kathmandu, Nepal. It is known as Khasti in Nepal Bhasa, Jyarung Khasyor in Tamang language or as Bauddha by speakers of Nepali.[1] Located about 11 km (6.8 mi) from the center and northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, the stupas massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal.[2]The Buddhist stupa of Boudhanath dominates the skyline. The ancient Stupa is one of the largest in the world. The influx of large populations of refugees from Tibet has seen the construction of over 50 Tibetan Gompas (Monasteries) around Boudhanath. As of 1979, Boudhanath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along with Swayambhunath, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in the Kathmandu area.The Stupa is on the ancient trade route from Tibet which enters the Kathmandu Valley by the village of Sankhu in the northeast corner, passes by Boudnath Stupa to the ancient and smaller stupa of Ca-bahi (often called Little Boudnath ). It then turns directly south, heading over the Bagmati river to Patan - thus bypassing the main city of Kathmandu (which was a later foundation).[1] Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many decided to live around Bouddhanath. The Stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of the Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. Standing tall and proud, this ancient Buddhist site is considered one of the holiest places in the city. Its grandeur is evident as it dominates the skyline with its massive mandala design, making it one of Nepal's largest spherical stupas. The significance of Boudhanath extends beyond its architectural marvels. Over 50 Tibetan Gompas (Monasteries) have been constructed around it due to an influx of refugees from Tibet. This has created a vibrant community that adds to the spiritual aura surrounding this sacred place. Recognizing its cultural and historical importance, UNESCO declared Boudhanath a World Heritage Site in 1979. Alongside Swayambhunath, it has become a popular destination for tourists visiting Kathmandu. The Stupa holds deep religious significance for both locals and visitors alike. It lies on an ancient trade route from Tibet and has served as a resting place for Tibetan merchants who offered prayers here for centuries.
