#nepalcharumatistupa

Charumati Stupa is believed to have been built by princess Charumati who was one of the daughters of Emperor Ashoka. She is believed to have accompanied her father to Kathmandu along with his Buddhist missionary.  During Devpala’s rule, Queen Charumati took active part in spreading Buddhism in the kingdom. After the king’s death, Charumati left the palace and became a Bhikkhuni. She had 500 Bhikkhunis with her at the time. She lived in a vihar named Charumati Vihar (which stills remains as a heritage in Chabahil) with the Bhikkhunis and is believed to have made Charumati Stupa nearby to pay homage to the Buddha.

Chabahil 40 years ago lost Buddha statue 5th century statue

Kathmandu - Nepal

Buddha Statue This 37 inch tall statue of Buddha, which has been seen in the premises of the Chabahil Dhando Chaitya – Charumati Stupa  since the fifth century, disappeared 40 years ago in July 1985, i.e. in the month of June 2042. This statue was standing in front of local houses.  There were many attempts to steal this idol.  But the efforts failed.   Once, during a theft, this statue was large and heavy, so the thieves left it in the middle. The next morning, the statue was found hidden in a bush a few hundred meters away.  The locals brought it back and replaced it where it was before.  But, unfortunately, in July 1985 i.e. June 2042, this valuable ancient statue was stolen and lost forever.  Let us all help to find this idol.

If anyone found this Buddha Statue please contact me –
