Shree Gha Vihar — Attraction in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

Originally this Shreegha Bihar is established in this place by flying from Lhasha by Tantric Bidhya by one of the Trantric named Bajra.

Shreegha Bihar is a very beautiful alike little Swoyambhu Stupa . You'll find it down a little ahead from Bangemudha and from other side its near to Thahity and not far from Thamel.

One minute you're in the busy Street lined with Shops, Stalls, avoiding Motor Scooters, the next you're in a tranquil place - that's Kathmandu! The Square is no more than 70 meters x 4. The main attractions to the eye are The Drubgon Jangchup Choeling Buddhist Monastery / Temple and the Khatesimbu Stupa. Amidst these are numerous Statues, a Old Govt. School Named as Pravat Secondary School inside this Bihar .

Mostly people enjoy visiting this place for Hot Lemon, feeding to Pigeons.

The Temple is really decorative and full of colours. You can walk around it setting off the Prayer Drums, light a candle for someone but best of all is the serenity of it all; it's quiet and on the occasions I popped in hardly saw any Tourists at all.

Entry appears to be free but there's an opportunity to make a donation. There is absolutely no 'sell', an example of the Buddhist lifestyle.

It seemed to me the School has continuous breaks, or it perhaps a roster system as each time I came across Children playing football with a Tennis Ball around the western side of the Square. This is something you find all over Kathmandu, play + prayer = happiness, or as near to it as you can get, also of course that in most cases in Nepal, all Religions share their Holy Places

You won't be harassed should you decide to take a seat for a while, it's a beautiful place to do so and I highly recommend searching it out. I wouldn't suggest having a Sandwich there though, trust me, there are a...

Shree Gha: A Tranquil Buddhist Sanctuary in Kathmandu

Shree Gha, also known as Shree Gha Chaitya or Kathesimbhu Stupa, is a small but important Buddhist stupa nestled in the heart of Kathmandu, Nepal. This stupa, which is a smaller version of the famous Swayambhunath Stupa, is a cherished spot for Buddhist pilgrims and a peaceful escape from the city's busy streets.

Built in the 17th century by the Newar community, Shree Gha is a beautiful example of Newari Buddhist architecture, with its white dome, gilded spire, and the all-seeing eyes of Buddha watching over the area. Around the stupa, you'll find smaller shrines, statues, and prayer wheels, all contributing to the serene and spiritual atmosphere.

Even though it's not as large as some other religious sites, Shree Gha is very important to the local community. People come here regularly to pray, meditate, and take part in various ceremonies and festivals that keep Buddhist traditions alive.

Like many places in Kathmandu, Shree Gha has faced some difficulties, especially after the 2015 earthquake, and the area around it can feel a bit crowded. But despite these challenges, it remains a peaceful and spiritually rich spot where you can find a moment of calm in the middle...
