It is one of the oldest religious sites of Nepal that holds great
respect for Hindu and Buddhist religion. It is also known as Monkey
Temple for the monkeys that inhabit there. It is believed that the place
was once filled with water where an enormous lotus grew. It got its
name since it was built over a self-existent eternal flame. The stupa
consists of a dome at its base above which a cubical structure is
painted with eyes of Buddha looking in all four directions and at the
base, there are five massive golden statues of Buddha. It is a fine
example of architecture that proudly stands 365 steep steps above the
surface.
