    We Newars still call Boudha as Khasti.The name was changed to Boudhanath to make sound more like Hindu shrine after being declared Hindu Kingdom.

    Very good digging and good insight.Baudha was built during the Lychavi dynasty in common era, let's be clear on that.Lichavi dynasty was one of the richest dynasty in the history of Nepal and some says, it was the golden era of Nepal.Most Lichavi kings were Buddhist devotees.Many Buddhists viharas and shrines in Kantipur were built during the Lichavi dynasty of Mandeva and Dharmadeva era.
    Many great Buddhist saints and Acharya from the Nalanda university used to pass by the Kantipur during the Lichavi dynasty and before.They used to spend months in Kantipur for climatization since they were coming from Maghad (former Bihar) India on the way to Tibet.Kantipur has history of great Buddhists hub in ancient time.
    It is true that native of Kantipur (Newars) has it's own name for Baudha which is called Khasti.Majority of Newars of Kantipur used to be Buddhists, and some tilted towards Hinduism when Jaysthiti malla destroyed many Viharas and made Vikhus and Vikhunis to get married with force during the Malla dynasty.There was a deep oppression on Buddhists and on Buddha dhamma overall during the reign of Malla dynasty and Rana dynasty.
    For the note,
    However in the 21st century,Tibetan refugees and Himalayan tribal people like Sherpas,Yolmos,Gurungs,Tamangs played significant role to make Baudha popular pilgrimage.Even Bhutanese people come here every year to pay their respect.Many Rinpoches and Bhutanese monarchs have donated to make Baudha what it is now.After the 2015 earthquake, Nepali Buddhists community and international Buddhist community donated for renovation and reconstruction of Baudha.It was not Nepali government whatsoever.

    Thank you so much for this masterpiece and also for touching on the topic of Tibet's invasion. I am so privileged and proud to come from Bouddha area... it's so true what you said about the religious harmony situation not just in Bouddha but around Nepal. Mainstream media will never allow Tibets topic in their content but I wish the general public know how our existence come about in Nepal.
    i wish this channel to grow very big and keep spreading the love... JAI NEPAL...

    I am so glad our country finally has such honest and non-conservative news media rooted with the concept of explanatory journalism. I can't help but ask if the eKagaj or even any of its employees are related to Vox or not; it was the first idea that came to me when I watched the first video from eKagaj.
    Anyways, keep on giving us amazing content and opening the doors of familiarity towards Nepal to the whole world !!

      @@aayushdhungana360 I understand your sentiment but the implication that the younger generation is unpolluted in its politcal ways and thought process because it prefers English over Nepali as a language of communication is rather irrational. I cannot help but assume that you regard Nepali to be an inferior language compared to English, which is ironic in the context of this particular video as it is about our local tradition and heritage.

    Loved every bit of the video. I guess you may have glossed over the Newar narrative of “Khasti Chaitya” but as the title suggests, this is purely from a mythological perspective so i would like to push back on those saying that “its sad” or that “this is false”.. by saying that there are different versions of stories everywhere about everything.. just be conscious of your biases and how that might drive you into becoming overly defensive. I am from a Tibetan Buddhist family (although I wouldn’t identify myself as a Buddhist), and tbh, i really couldn’t care less if the video is trying to “Tibetanize” or “ignore” the Newa narrative.. the fact is that Boudha is here, its for everyone - as the video laid out - and we merely need to cooperate with each other in preserving this site (be it for communal, religious or economic reasons).

    How can you talk about Bouddha's origin without mentioning the original name - "Khasti Chaitya"? Also, the fact that Bouddha has an Ajima (Newar pre-vedic mother goddess temple should be talked about. Newar Buddhists played an integral role in Tibetan Buddhism. Even Tibetans learn about the Licchavi princess Bhrikuti taking Newar artisans and Buddhism to Tibet. Most people in Nepal unfortunately don't know this. Call it what it is - Khasti Chaitya.

Nepal's ancient civilization runs deep into newa culture and the fact that it was totally ignored is weird.

And lumbini was never part of any nepalese empire except the gorkhali empire.. Lumbini was under maurya empire the proof we have of buddhism the ashoka pillar mentions that ashoka deducted tax for people of lumbini cause buddha was born there...

She was so deemed to think in better way using her idea making skin into thin strips of thread hence circling huge plot of land and the higher caste see her that situation and told king why u r giving such huge land to a lower caste lady and king told them he told her already and couldn't take that words back so stupa was made and to finished its holiness she asked one if her son to bring buddha tooth from India and that was later installed inside that stupa ..from that there was also next story of buffalo used in building stupa and the crow at roof which ll be related to rebirth of tibetan empire and king...ll tell u if someone interested ☺☺☺
