DescriptionSwyambunath Temple in Nepal.jpg |
English: Swayambhunath Stupa, an iconic religious monument in Kathmandu, Nepal, is a revered pilgrimage site for Buddhists and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Perched atop a hill, it offers panoramic views of the valley. The stupa's white dome represents the world, while the gold spire symbolizes enlightenment. The all-seeing eyes on each side of the spire signify Buddha's omniscience. Surrounding the stupa are prayer wheels, shrines, and the playful presence of monkeys, giving it the affectionate nickname "Monkey Temple." This sacred complex is not only a testament to Nepal's rich cultural heritage but also a symbol of harmony between Hinduism and Buddhism in the region.
