Swyambhu Stupa




In Kathmandu Vally there are two big and famous Stupa (chaityas). One main Stupa is Swyambhu Stupa. This is one of the world's glorious Buddhist Chaityas (stupa) . It is said to be 2000 years old. The Chaitya which forms the main structure is made of a solid hemisphere of brich and clay supporting a lofty conical spire capped by a pinnacle of copper gift. Painted on the four-sides of the spire bases are the all- seeing eyes of Lord Buddha. It is three kilometers west of Kathmandu city, and is situated on a hillock about 77m above the level of the Valley. The hills ls is a mosaic of small Chaityas and pagoda temple.
