who created the Kathmandu Valley from a primordial lake.
According to a legend of 15th century Swayambhu Puran,
it is believed that past Buddha planted a lotus that
miraculously blossomed from the lake. Manjushree, while
meditating at the sacred mountain, had a vision of the
brilliant but mysterious light radiated by the lotus
and flew across China and Tibet to worship it. In order
to make it accessible to the pilgrims, Manjushree drained
out water from the lake and thus, the lotus was transformed
into a hilltop and the light into Swayambhunath Stupa.
Hence, the derivation of the title Swayambhu, which
means self-creation. This superior white mound and glittering
golden spire is visible from all sides of the valley.
Both Hindu and Buddhists equally worship Swayambhunath
eve though it is a Buddhist Stupa. Overnight at Kathmandu.
