      Meeting At Garden Of Dream

      Visiting KASTAMANDAP/ BASANTAPUR 

      Darbar ( Palace) squares in front of old places in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur are very popular. Kathmandu Durbar square called Hanuman Dhoka. In Kathmandu Durbar Square , there are Kumari Bahal, Kasthamandap Temple ( This temple was made of a single tree), and many other artistic temples, Old Royal Palace, Taleju Temple, Ashok Binayak (Ganesh temple), Shiva Temple in Maju Deval, Trailokya Mohan Narayan Temple, Astha Narayan Temple, Swet Bhairab temple, Kal Bhairab Temple, Indra Pur Temple,Kakeshwar Temple, VishnuTemple , Ktilingeshwar Temple, Panch Pukhi Hanuman Temple in Nasal Chowk. 


      Swayambhunath Temple Known as  Monkey Temple : Swayambhunath temple is a Buddhist Temple situated at the top of the hill. People say Monkey Temple also. From this hill one can enjoy the views of Kathmandu valley. There is Swayambhu Stupa, Huge Dorje, Annata pura Shikhara, Pratap pura ( caught fire in 2003) Shikhara, Museum, Harati Temple etc. 


      The first stupa at Boudhanath was built sometime after AD 600, when the Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo, converted to Buddhism. In terms of grace and purity of line, no other stupa in Nepal comes close to Boudhanath. From its whitewashed dome to its gilded tower painted with the all-seeing eyes of the Buddha, the monument is perfectly proportioned. Join the Tibetan pilgrims on their morning and evening koras (circumambulations) for the best atmosphere.

      According to legend, the king constructed the stupa as an act of penance after unwittingly killing his father. The first stupa was wrecked by Mughal invaders in the 14th century, so the current stupa is a more recent construction.


      The highly symbolic construction serves in essence as a three-dimensional reminder of the Buddhaโ€™s path towards enlightenment. The plinth represents earth, the kumbha (dome) is water, the harmika (square tower) is fire, the spire is air and the umbrella at the top is the void or ether beyond space. The 13 levels of the spire represent the stages that a human being must pass through to achieve nirvana.


      Stupas were originally built to house holy relics and some claim that Boudhanath contains the relics of the past Buddha, Kashyapa, while others say it contains a piece of bone from the skeleton of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha. Around the base of the stupa are 108 small images of the Dhyani Buddha Amitabha (108 is an auspicious number in Tibetan culture) and a ring of prayer wheels, set in groups of four or five into 147 niches.


      To reach the upper level of the plinth, look for the gateway at the north end of the stupa, beside a small shrine dedicated to Hariti (Ajima), the goddess of smallpox. The plinth is open from 5am to 6pm (till 7pm in summer), offering a raised viewpoint over the tide of pilgrims surging around the stupa. Note the committed devotees prostrating themselves full-length on the ground in the courtyard on the east side of the stupa.
