And as in all Tibetan mandalas, four of the Dhyani Buddhas mark the cardinal points, with the fifth, Vairocana, enshrined in the center (in the white hemisphere of the stupa). The five Buddhas also personify the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether), which are represented in the stupa’s architecture.

in the world. The city is situated on a plateau across Bagmati River. Another name of Patan, is Lalitpur.

About the beauty of Patan, a western lady writer has to say this – "Patan means eternity itself and Patan Durbar Square is the spectacular sight of Asia indeed".
