As I climbed the steep stairs that led to the temple, I was surrounded by the sounds of the resident monkeys, who were busy playing and grooming each other. The early morning light was just beginning to filter through the trees, casting a soft glow on the temple and its surroundings. Those long stairs were tiring and felt like never ending. It felt like every step I take was a climb to the Mt. Everest. Haha ! Just kiddeing. It was hard though. Though in every step I only thought of who would even make such insane steps.
Finally, when I reached the top of the hill, I was greeted by the stunning sight of the Swoyambhunath stupa, with its white dome and gilded spire towering over the surrounding landscape. There were prayer flags surrounding the stupa. It was a fabulous sight to see. I am amazed with the complex architecture of the temples where every temple in the vicinity had its own design patterns and uniqueness.
As I explored the temple, a feeling of peace and spiritual atmosphere rose from within maybe it was due to the atmosphere or due to the temple itself. There were visitors who were meditating and praying in various parts of the temple, and the air was filled with the scent of burning incense and the sound of chanting. A mesmerizing event. What a amazing day!
