The stupa of Swayambhunath is located on a hillock nearly 3 kilometers west of the Kathmandu. Swayambhu means the Self-Existent One. The Stupa was given the name because of the belief existing among the people that Adi-buddha appeared on his own accord from among the lotus in this place.
Prayer wheels encircle the Stupa of Swayambhu with Om Manipame Hum inscribed on them. There are images of Adi-buddha Taras around the Stupa. This projection has a pair of unwinking eyes with the peculiar nose below on its all four sides. Buddhist religious scriptures describe them as Tantradi, Mantradi and Yantradi, which are supposed to operate the whole universe. Tyampanums and thirteen signs crouwn this square projection. Each of the tympanum bears the image of Adibuddha and the thirteen rings indicate of thirteen heaven.
