This one located deep within the winding narrow lanes of the historical core of Kathmandu is also known as mini-
Swayambhu or simply
Kathesimbhu. It is a beautiful stupa both in its surrounding and for the serenity it offers in the middle of this chaotic urban fabric - a small reprieve does seem to go a long way. Architecturally, it is said to be a miniature replica of the bigger
Swayambhu Stupa built around the sixteenth century for those people whose age or infirmity precluded them from climbing the hill to the bigger Stupa.
