Boudha Stupa (Nepali: बौद्ध; Newari: खास्ति चैत्य) Boudhanath Stupa also known as Khasti Chaitya or Khāsa Chaitya, is a stupa and major spiritual landmark seen as the embodiment of the enlightened mind of all the Buddhas, located in Boudha, within the city of Kathmandu, Nepal. Built in the northeast of Kathmandu Valley and originally surrounded by rice paddies, the stupa gave birth to Tibetan Buddhism. It is filled with consecrated substances, and its layout as a massive mandala makes it the largest spherical stupa in Nepal and one of the largest in the world.
