More than 2,500 years old, this huge stupa stands out prominently in Kathmandu Valley with the four pairs of eyes supposed to be of Lord Buddha in four cardinal directions to signify that the stupa keeps eternal watch over the activities of human beings as a whole. The belief that anything, right or wrong, done by anyone is seen by the Lord through these pairs of eyes, as it is so believed, make all people alert to always abstain from evil deeds. Many festivals and rituals are attached with this stupa. A great number of Tibetan Buddhists also flock here every year. Several Tibetan style monasteries are there surrounding the stupa.
