Budhanilkantha Temple
The reclining Vishnu image in a sacred water basin is the clear focus of this northern Kathmandu shrine. Observe from the visitor area and make room for pilgrims.
The stone Vishnu figure lies within the water basin, making the relationship between image, pool and worship unusually clear. This is a living shrine, so the visitor's experience is shaped by the pilgrims who come to it. Observe from the visitor area and spend the time understanding the image in its ritual setting.
