🇳🇵Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) Walking Tour [4k] - with Captions

Walking Tour of Swayambhunath Temple (स्वयम्भू महाचैत्य) in Kathmandu Nepal.

The video was recorded on Sept 9th, 2021at around 7:45 am Nepal Time.

It is never enough to visit Swayambhunath Temple. This time me and father went in the morning when its less crowded.

There are two access points to the Temple. We entered through the main entrance with less steps leading to the temple. There is an another entrance where there are 1000s of steps that will lead you to the temple.

Mythology:
According to Swayambhu Purana, the entire valley was once filled with an enormous lake, out of which grew a lotus. The valley came to be known as Swayambhu, meaning "Self-Created." The name comes from an eternal self-existent flame (svyaṃbhu) over which a sūpa was later built.

There are holy monkeys living in the north-west parts of the temple. They are holy because Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom and learning, was raising the hill which the stupa stands on. He was supposed to leave his hair short, but he made it grow long and head lice grew. It is said that the head lice transformed into these monkeys.

Manjusri had a vision of the Lotus at Swayambhu and traveled there to worship it. Seeing that the valley could be a good settlement, and to make the site more accessible to human pilgrims, he cut a gorge at Chovar. The water drained out of the lake, leaving the valley in which Kathmandu now lies. The Lotus was transformed into a hill and the flower became the stupa.
