Perched atop a hill overlooking Kathmandu, Swayambhu—often called the Monkey Temple—is a place where spirituality and history converge. Its iconic stupa, adorned with the all-seeing eyes of Buddha, watches over the valley below, while prayer flags flutter in the wind, carrying silent wishes across the city. Pilgrims and visitors alike move through its terraces and shrines, creating a rhythm of devotion, reflection, and quiet observation.
Beyond the architectural grandeur, Swayambhu is alive with daily rituals—the ringing of bells, the spinning of prayer wheels, and the gentle murmur of prayers. Through photography, these moments of devotion and human connection are captured alongside the temple’s intricate carvings and panoramic views, revealing a space where faith, culture, and the human spirit coexist in harmony.
