Budhanilkantha Temple

Located a few miles northwest of Kathmandu in the town of Balaju is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Jalasayana, lying on Ananta Sesa, in the cosmic ocean.  As one of the largest sculptures in Nepal, Budhanilkantha Temple is worshiped devoutly, and there are usually A lot of people but mainly Hindu gathered at the statue with offerings of flowers, rice, and colored powders. The statue, which rests in the middle of a small rectangular pond, depicts Vishnu reclining in a bed of snakes. I was lucky the day that I was there I had the opportunity to I see the ceremony of a Nepalese wedding.

Actually is the best place to stay in Kathmandu,  I was lucky the day that I was there I had the opportunity to I see the ceremony of a Nepalese wedding. Lord Vishnu is lying on Ananta Sesa, in the cosmic ocean. The Deity is over 1,000 years old. For me Budhanilkantha Temple is one of the temples that you have to see on your holidays to Kathmandu.
