Boudha Stupa is semicircle-shaped and contains the relics and remains of Buddha. The stupa's massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in the world.

The stupa is a historical pilgrimage site for all the Buddhists around the world. The stupa is built using many kilograms of gold for decoration. The giant Boudhanath Stupa is a gateway to heaven, serving as a horizon between the earth and sky. The base of the stupa structure consists of three large platforms decreasing in size. These platforms symbolize the sky, whereas the circular vase supporting the semi-sphere signifies water. The eyes of Buddha painted on the stupa are diversely described as inscrutable, impassive, empathetic, and shrewd.
