History
There is no history of Boudhanath Stupa. However, there is numerous myth, and the most famous is the Tibetan version. The older woman is said to have moved centuries ago to build a Buddhist shrine. The woman requested the king to give her land, which he did not intend to do. Then the woman started building the dome, and her four sons completed the work. The Mughal Empire of West Asia built the Stupa, and India invaded the Nepali territory in the 14th century.
