Swayambhu Nath Stupa also known as Monkey Temple here in Kathmandu, Nepal

Visiting to Swayambhu Nath Stupa always makes me spiritual with the soundtrack of Om Mani Padme Hum on the background. Actually, the whole environment gets pure, holy & spiritual by that soundtrack.

Apart for being spiritual, I don't forget to take an opportunity to photograph some moments form the place. I have taken so many photos of the Stupa & it's territorial temples. But, this recent visit was a special one that I managed to take few UNIQUE & UNSEEN type of photos for myself. Here are the few one.

Aashapuri Mahadev, the God of fulfilling the Wishes

Though I am not a believer of Blind Faith, after hearing about the scenic views from my near ones; I had a plan with myself to be to the temple without having any wishes.

One day, I had gone alone there where the tyre-tubes of the bike was not in well condition. Sadly, air from the front wheel was gone. As a result , I could not reach to the final destination. I had faced too much trouble just to get back from the spot. Actually, it was only 3kms. far from the destination. The puncture really made ma like a wounded Tiger & decided myself that I will surely go the Temple one day.

One day again, after replacing the tyre & tubes, I headed towards there. Suddenly or fortunately or coinsidently, that very day was Last Monday of our Nepali calender month, Shrawan. Being the last monday of Shrawan, I saw a crowd there. I, somehow paid homage to the Mahadev & after having tea-lunch, got back safe & sound.

Joyous view from Aashapuri
