This magnificent white stupa stands proudly in the heart of Kathmandu, surrounded by ancient and modern buildings that bear witness to the unique blend of tradition and urbanisation in Nepal's capital. With the famous eyes of the Buddha on its golden top, it symbolises wisdom and spiritual awakening. Small statues and pots of plants carefully arranged around its base add a touch of serenity and respect to this place of worship. Under a brilliant blue sky, this stupa exudes an atmosphere of peace and timelessness, despite the daily hustle and bustle of the city that surrounds it. These Buddhist shrines, scattered throughout Kathmandu, are places of prayer and meditation where the faithful come to make offerings and recite mantras. They are a reminder of the importance of Buddhism in Nepalese culture and the spiritual heritage deeply rooted in everyday life.
