Draped in traditional maroon robes, Buddhist monks engage in solitary evening meditation on weathered wooden platforms encircling the base of Boudhanath Stupa as the fading light softens its gleaming white dome and gilded tower. These daily spiritual practices at one of Buddhism's most sacred sites outside Tibet continue a devotional tradition spanning more than 1,500 years, where practitioners seek enlightenment through contemplative rituals performed beneath strings of multicolored prayer flags that carry mantras to the heavens with each flutter in the dusk breeze.
