Boudhanath The Great Stupa In Kathmandu A UNESCO World Heritage Site
Panoramic night view of Boudhanath known also as Bouddha or Khasti Chaitya or Khasa Chaitya or even as the Great Stupa in Kathmandu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a legendary place for the Newar and Tibetan Buddhist mythology with the golden part having the Eyes of Boudhanath and the praying flags. The night is illuminated by the Tibetan settlement lights around. One of the most popular tourist attraction in Kathmandu, an international landmark. The mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal and the world. The Stupa was damaged in the 2015 April earthquake. The Stupa is located on the ancient trade route from Tibet, and the Tibetan Refugees after the 1950s decided to live around Boudhanath. Nepalese people, Buddhist and Hindu pilgrims from abroad offer the Kora while wearing a face mask due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic as other devotees offer prayers next to the burning flames and incense around the Stupa and tourists the pigeons. The view is from open air restaurants with terraces. Kathmandu, Nepal on April 15, 2022 (Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto)
