Swayambhunath tour.
05:30PM Swayambhunath Tour. Swayambhunath is among the oldest religious
sites in Nepal. According to the Gopālarājavaṃśāvalī, it was founded by
the great-grandfather of King Mānadeva (464-505 CE), King Vṛsadeva,
about the beginning of the 5th century CE. This seems to be confirmed
by a damaged stone inscription found at the site, which indicates that
King Vrsadeva ordered work done in 640 CE.
However, Emperor Ashoka is said to have visited the site in the third
century BCE and built a temple on the hill which was later destroyed.
Although the site is considered Buddhist, the place is revered by both
Buddhists and Hindus. Numerous Hindu monarch followers are known
to have paid their homage to the temple, including Pratap Malla, the
powerful king of Kathmandu, who is responsible for the construction of
the eastern stairway in the 17th century.
