The Legend of Swayambhunath - Legend says that once the Kathmandu valley was a lake in which Swayambhunath hill existed as an island. On top of that hill stood a natural crystal stupa. Buddha, when visiting the place, declared that it was a wish-fulfilling stupa and whoever is touched by the wind that passes over the stupa receives the seed of liberation from the cycle of existence.
