The chief architectural features of this kind of religious monuments are the white hemispheric mound erected on a square or round plinth, the cultural brass construction painted with the all-seeing eyes on each panel, the brass finial of 13 concentric rings tapering upwards and then opening out in the form of a double canopied umbrella, the tradional sign of Royalty of protection with niches to accommodate the brass images of the seated Buddha in various traditional postures like the posture of meditation in; Nepali Dhyana mudra, the posture if non-fear; in Nepali Abhaya Mudra, the posture of calling the earth to witness; in Nepali Bhoomi Sparsha Mudra and so on. The magnificent stupas of the Swayambhunath and Boudhnath features these extra decorations as well under the influence of the Lamastic school. The temple precincts of the Boudhnath support a nice colony of the cheerful people of the Tibetan origin, who follow the traditional of their forefather in religious rituals, social customs, dress habit and ways of speech.
