Even today many people visit Kathmandu for satisfying their spiritual cravings. Among the very famous temples of Kathmandu, Boudhanath temple is the most famous and the most splendid of all. It is also named as the Boudha, Chorten Chempo and Khasa Caityais among the locals. Built over an octagonal base, the temple has a splendid diameter of close to 120 meters. It is surrounded by beautiful prayer wheels and colourful prayer flags, making prayer even more dedicated. Boudhanath is a true representative of the five elements of life – earth, fire, water, air and ether – denoted by the five statues of Dhyani Buddhas. The temple has nine levels, representing the mythical peak as per the Buddhist mythology named as Mount Meru.

Boudhanath is the epicentre of the religious activities of Nepal’s Buddhist community. It is surrounded by more than 50 Buddhist monasteries.
