Mahabuddha Temple

Mahabuddha Temple Mahabuddha temple stands as exemplary work constructed of terracota in the sikhara style. The temple is sometimes called the "the temple of 9000" buddhas too.

Located in south Patan the Mahaboudha temple is one of several popular attractions of culture worth stopping by to see. The nickname "temple of a thousand and eight Buddhas" comes from the engraved terracotta tiles that cover the stone structiure. However this is somewhat misleadings as the 9000 referers to the stones used to build the temple under the tiles. In the 1500s a devotee from Patan name

d Abhaya Raj Shakya visited the famous Mahabodhi temple in Bodhgaya temple in India. Whist in Bodgaya he studied coin making. Back in Kathmandu he obtained permssion to begin a royal mint in his courtyad. In 1564 he began constuction of this Mahaboudha temple however he died when only foundation were constructed. Each of five Abhaya's sons worked on finishing temple. All but the fifth died with the project incomplete. The fifth son was about to give up when a goddess appeared and he continued the project. The Mahaboudha temple was finished in 1610. The temple was severely damaged in the earthquake of 1933 and an extensive restoration project facilitated much of the repairs.. The Mahaboudha Temple is located down a narrow side street in south Patan. As you come out of OkuBahal take a left then the first street to your right.
