Bodhanath Sitter by Ryszard Wierzbicki

The great stupa of Bodhanath in Kathmandu is one of the largest in Nepal and a major pilgrimage site as well as a tourist attraction. It is thought to have been built in the late 6th century and was enlarged and expanded upon later, most likely in the 14th century. Thousands of pilgrims from different religions gather here daily. It is believed that anyone who visits the stupa with no ill thoughts in their hearts receives good karma. The woman I spotted by the Stupa was really concentrated and impressed by this place.
