An old Tibetan nun makes the rounds,..turning prayer wheels around the stupa in a clockwise direction known as a "Kora", a sacred circumambulation that brings great merit. Bodhinath is believed to contain the relics of the past Buddha Kashyapa, but is also held holy by Hindus. The stupa is set along the ancient Tibetan trade route and is an important pilgrimage point for the valley's Tibetan community.
