BudhanilkanthaThe shrine of Budhanilkantha lies at the foot of the hill, on the northern rim of the Kathmandu valley. The site contains a huge stone image of Lord Vishnu, the preserver in the Hindu trinity, reclining on a bed of serpents half submerged in the middle of a pond. The shrine was built more than 1,500 years ago and is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in the valley.
