“Bouddha is the largest stupa of the valley situated along the trade route to Tibet. Erected in its present form at the beginning of the 16th century, it underwent several renovations financed by Tibetan yogins and priests. One major renovation occurred after the death of Togden Shakya Shree (1853-1919), who made provisions for the stupa’s upkeep in his testament. The Bodhnath Stupa is unique in the dimensions assumed by the three terraced plinths upon which its drum and dome were built.”
