Boudhanath

Boudhanath

Boudhanath, originally uploaded by £$þ.

This is famous Boudhanath temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. I visited this temple to offer prayers before embarking on my trekking trip to the base camp of Mt.Everest.

I wanted a totally different perspective of the temple and hence this particular view with prayer flags covering one half of the frame and the stupa covering the other. Since there are variety of colors in this picture, thought of doing a HDR to bring them out. Let me know your views/feedbacks on this.

Boudhanath is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Kathmandu, Nepal. Located in the northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, the stupa's massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal. As of 1979, Boudhanath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along with Swayambhunath, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in the Kathmandu area.
