of the Nepali monarch, are held in the Kathmandu Durbar
Square.
SWAYAMBHU
Swayambhu literally means 'Self-Existent One.' Swoyambhunath
is believed to have been established more than 2,500 years
ago. An inscription dated 460 A.D. states that the
construction was carried out by King Manadeva. By the
thirteenth century Swoyambhunath had developed into an
important Buddhist learning site. The history of Kathmandu
Valley is said to have started with the beginning of
Swoyambhu. The largest image of the Sakyamuni Buddha in
Nepal is in a monastery next to the Stupa. Behind the
hilltop is a temple dedicated to Manjusri of Saraswati - the
goddess of learning. Statues and shrines of Buddhist and
Hindu deities dot the Stupa complex. Large numbers of
Buddhists and Hindus alike visit Swoyambhunath. Swoyambhu is
perhaps the best place to observe the religious harmony in
Nepal.
PASHUPATINATH
Pashupatinath is one of the four most important religious
sites in Asia for Shiva devotees. Pashupatinath, dedicated
to Shiva the Destroyer, is the holiest Hindu pilgrimage
destination in Nepal. Although the Pashupatinath Temple was
only built in the fifth century and later renovated by Malla
kings, the holy site is said to have existed from the
beginning of the millennium. A gold-plated roof, four silver
doors, and wood carvings of the finest quality decorate the
pagoda temple of Pashupatinath. Temples dedicated to several
other Hindu and Buddhist deities surround the temple of
Pashupatinath. Behind the temple is the River Bagmati. On
the banks of Bagmati are raised platforms used as cremation
sites for Hindus. Pashupatinath, in a limited sense,
literally means the Lord of the Animals. But animal is also
a term that denotes the animal like instincts in human
beings.
BOUDDHANATH
Bouddhanath is the center of Tibetan culture in Nepal. The
36-meter-high Stupa of Bouddhanath is one of the largest
stupas in South Asia. Bouddhanath Stupa was renovated by
Licchavi rulers in the eighth century. The Mandala design in
Bouddhanath is a copy of the one in Gyangtse in Tibet. The
Stupa is located in the area of ancient trade route to Tibet.
