Pilgrims at Boudha


A chartered Druk Air Airbus A319 arrived in Kathmandu on Tuesday carrying 114 Bhutani pilgrims attending a sacred ceremony held once in 12 years at Boudha on Wednesday night (pic right). The passengers joined an estimated 1,000 pilgrims who are in Nepal to witness the relic of Ma Jazima, an incarnate of Abalokiteswar, displayed at Boudha on Thursday. Pilgrims who could not fly travelled by road through India despite security problems. The statue of Ma Jazima, encased in the stupa is taken out for display every Tibetan rooster year. It is believed that the stupa has the power to fulfil all wishes made there. Ours is for peace.
