Buddha Watchful Eyes ~ The Great Boudha Stupa




The biggest stupa in the whole world

The largest stupa in the whole world- Boudhanath Stupa or The Great Boudha Stupa. As we enter in the place we just follow the crowd. A lot of buddhist people and tourist that time. We first follow what they do. They walk around the stupa clockwise and saying "Om Mani Padme Hum". For me this is the most sacred place I been.

Religious Burning Temple ~ Pashupatinath



The Pashupatinath  temple
Pashupatinath is Lord Shiva, the God of Gods. Ancient Scriptures (The Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas) have described Him as Lord of the entire living beings and the source of eternal bliss and peace.You can see at the center of the entrance is Lord Shiva.

The Pashupatinath  temple is one of the holiest temples of the world revered and worshiped both Hindus and by Buddhists. It has set a shining example of religious harmony. In the sanctum of the temple stands a Jyothirlinga (believed to have self appeared) the like of which is not found existent anywhere else in the world. It is a phallic idol, the symbol of Pashupatinath which has four images carved on its four sides. In front of the west gate of the temple is kept a colossal image of a gold guilt bull seated with composure on its four legs and with its eyes fixed on Lord Pashupatinath inside. It is mentioned in the Hindu scriptures that bull is the carrier of Lord Shiva.


This "extensive Hindu temple precinct" is a "sprawling collection of temples, ashrams, images and inscriptions raised over the centuries along the banks of the sacred Bagmati river" and is included as one of the seven monument groups in UNESCO's designation of Kathmandu Valley as a cultural heritage site. ~ Wikipedia
