Bouddhanath was  built in the 14th century after the Mugal invasions; various interesting legends are told regarding the reasons for its construction. After the arrival of thousands of Tibetans following the 1959 Chinese invasion, the stupa  has become one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhist. Today it remains an important place of pilgrimage and meditation for Tibetan Buddhists and local Nepalese, as well as a  popular tourist site.
