Detail InformationEdit

Nagi Gompa is situated on the north side of Shivpuri. The river Bagmati flows east breaking through a ridge that surrounds the valley on the north side at Sundarijal. Water flows out through a gargoyle which is shaped like the mouth of a tiger. According to Buddhism, Buddha brought forth water from a rock with his index finger. According to a version from the Swayambhu Purana, in the Tretayuga, the fourth Buddha Krakuchchhanda appeared on the earth and came to Nepal to pay homage to Swayambhu Dharmadhatu, Guheshwari and Manjushri’s throne.He went to the Sankhya Parvat or Shivpuri to preach ‘Aryasatya’ (Sublime truth). Several people came to hear him and all of them requested to be ordained and initiated. There was no water on Shivpuri and Krakuchchhanda, by reciting several mantras, caused a stream to originate.
