Kathmandu attractions
Swayambhu
Swayambhu, meaning "The Self-manifested Lord", sits on a steep hill in the north west of Kathmandu. The main attraction to the area is that Buddha is said to have sown the lotus seeds that later grew into a giant, jeweled lotus. The building itself consists of three main areas; the base, dome and spire which represent the three kayas. Around the bottom area are various spinning wheels to be used by visitors, it is said that the wheels generate blessings and mantras.
