| Plan showing the location of the four stupas of Patan |
North Stupa (Yampithur Stupa or I-Bahi) which stands to the north off Bangalamukhi Temple / Khumbeshwor Temple Complex. One of the four main stupas in Patan, the others are Lagankhel at the southern edge, Imadol at the eastern periphery and Pulchowk at the west. Of the four, only the northern stupa rests on a hard surface. As for this particular stupa, you will find five minor stupas including a Guthi building around this main central stupa. The entrance to this complex is flanked by a Bhajan Mandal and Sattal, both about 8'-0" high.
