Swayambhunath avec l'important stūpa de Bodnath à l'est, est un des plus anciens et le plus saint des sites bouddhistes de Katmandou. Il est situé sur une colline à l'ouest de Katmandou surplombant la ville.
Le stūpa consiste en un dôme à la base. Au-dessus du dôme, il y a une structure cubique avec les yeux de Bouddha regardant dans les quatre directions. Il y a un Torana pentagonal présent au-dessus de chacun des quatre côtés avec des statues gravées en eux. Derrière et au-dessus du torana, il y a treize rangées. Au-dessus de toutes les rangées, il y a un petit espace au-dessus duquel le Gajur est présent.

With diameter of about 100m and 40m height, Buddhanath holds its place among the largest stupas in the world. The Buddhanath stupa covers a vast area. It has a round path at the bottom while another path is made of three-tier plinth. The stupa resembles Swayambhunath stupa to some extent. Although similar in design to its smaller counterpart, Swayambhu, Boudha has a rounded top to its dome whereas Swayambhu's is flat.
The most impressive part of the stupa is the eyes of the Buddha which are painted with red, white and blue colors.

Also known as Boudha, it is one of the largest stupas in the world and an important place of worship for Nepalis and Tibetan Buddhists.
The stupa was granted World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 1979.
Maybe you have seen it a dozen times. I want to share it with you anyway because I simply love it since taken yesterday. You see the Bodnath Stupa in Kathmandu a holy place for buddhists and second largest stupa in the world (that someone told me yesterday). I hope you like it and can enjoy it on your own.
The large eyes on each side of the stupa represent God’s ability to see all. The symbolic number “1″ between the eyes represents the one path to enlightenment.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / favs!

.. believe me, if you have not seen in 3D, you haven't seen all!
though you can appreciate single image; to enjoy this stereo (3d) image, first just go through any one of the image like a normal photo. kindly note, try only if you can cockeye. when you are ready to see in 3d …
- concentrate on the centre line of 2 images for about half a minute
- when your eyes get little tired, try to focus your vision as if you are lost in deep thoughts, keeping the direction of vision towards the centre line
- a 3rd image will appear, pushing aside those two (if not yet, try to force your pupil nearer to each other by looking at the bridge of your nose)
- adjust your vision to see only 3 images (not four)
- concentrate on the 3rd middle image, the stereo one.
hope you could see the 3rd image and enjoy. if not, try hard; i promise, it’s worth that little pain in your eyes!

Shanti Stupa or Peace Pagoda was built in 1972 by Japanese Buddhist monks. The hill is significant because it overlooks where successful but deadly King Ashoka issued edicts forsaking any more violent acts. My party arrived and just as I was getting setup called to me that we were on our way! It seems we really were taking in the sights… at pace!

La leyenda cuenta que hace 6000 años el Príncipe Mahasatwo encontró una tigresa famélica y a sus cinco cachorros. Para salvar sus vidas, Mahasatwo cortó su cuerpo y la sangre atrajo a la tigresa. La tigresa se comió al príncipe y solo dejó sus huesos. Los huesos del príncipe se llevaron de vuelta a la aldea y se enterraron en una tumba que se convirtió en la stupa de Namo Bhudda.
Unos 3500 años después, Gautama Buddha fue a la aldea de Sange da Fyafusla. Realizó tres vueltas alrededor de la stupa y declaró que era la reencarnación del Príncipe Mahasatwo. Entonces, Gautama Buddha renombró la aldea como Namo Buddha, que signigfica Homenaje a Buddha.
According to legend, 6000 years ago Prince Mahasatwo discovered a starving tigress and her five cubs. To save the lives of the tigers, Mahasatwo cut his body so that the warm blood drew the tigress to him. The tigress ate the prince and left only his bones. The bones of the prince were brought back to the village and buried in a tomb which became the stupa of Namo Buddha.
Some 3500 years later, the Gautama Buddha came to the village of Sange da Fyafulsa. He conducted three tours around the stupa before he declared that he was the reincarnation of Prince Mahasatwo. Gautama Buddha then renamed this village to Namo Buddha, meaning Homage to Buddha.

Vishwa Shanti Stupa, New Delhi
The Shanti Stupa Society was established to build the Vishwa Shanti Stupa (World Peace Pagoda) in the Indraprastha Park in the heart of the City of Delhi. The purpose of the Shanti Stupa is to provide a “peace haven” for all and to develop programs that promote peace-building efforts all over the world with an emphasis on ahimsa, or nonviolence.
The Shanti Stupa has become a symbol of universal peace and acceptance over the centuries. Nipponzan Myohoji was founded by Most Venerable Nichidatsu Fujii (1885-1985) with the mission of building Shanti Stupas all over the world as a way of creating peace and transforming people’s mind and heart. This order has built more than eighty Shanti Stupas all across the globe.
The Shanti Stupa Project envisioned by Fujii Guruji in 1978 soon after he received the Jawahar Lal Nehru Award for International Understanding by the Government of India in recognition of his work. The project in Delhi began in 2004 in collaboration with the Delhi Development Authority and the Lt. Governor of Delhi.
Shanti Stupa is a Buddhist white-domed stupa (chorten) on a hilltop in Chanspa, Leh district, Ladakh.
There are 7 Peace Pagoda or Shanti Stupas in India at Delhi, Rajgir, Wardha, Darjeeling, Bhubaneswar, Ladakh and Vaishali.
Chaukhandi Stupa is an important Buddhist stupa in Sarnath, located 13 kilometres from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Stupas are descendents of burial mounds and serve as a shrine for a relic of the Buddha.
The Chaukhandi Stupa is thought originally to have been built as a terraced temple during the Gupta period between the 4th to 6th Century to mark the site where Lord Buddha and his first disciples met traveling from Bodh Gaya to Sarnath. Later Govardhan, the son of a Raja, modified the stupa to its present shape by building the octagonal tower to commemorate the visit of Humayun, the powerful Mughal ruler.
Today the stupa is a high earthen mound covered with a brickwork edifice topped by an octagonal tower. It is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.
famous Bodhnath stupa in Bodhnath/Katmandu..
Bodhnath Stupa is a bastion of Tibetan culture in the heart of the Kathmandu valley. Energized by the arrival of thousands of Tibetans after the 1959 Chinese invasion, the temple has become one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism. Bodnath is the largest stupa in Nepal and was probably built in the 14th century after the Mughal invasions. From the air it looks like a giant Mandala, or diagram of the Buddhist cosmos.
