Tago Chiva - Wokubahal

Tago Chiva is very beautiful stupa located behind the Rudra Varna Mahivihar. It is taken as a true example of stone craft of Patan city. At the very spot there was a Dharmadhatu which was in a ruined condition keeping the old & religious Chaitya underneath. The stupa was built in 1685 A.D. under the supervision of Pandit Jayamuni Shakya the great grandson of Panditt Avaya Raja Shakhya. The Dharmandhatu in front of Chaitya adds beauty and holiness to the spot. A pit with Basuki Naag in north side of the Stupa is worshiped for rain fall in dry season. The completion ceremony was organized in the presence of the king Yog Narendra Malla. The Danpati (devotee) of this locality Shree Ratna Muni Shakya Bansa arranged the alms (Samyak Daan) in 1687 A.D. In this ceremony king of Kathmandu Bhupatendra Malla and king of Lalitpur Yog Narendra Malla were also present. The symbolic of presence of two kings in one ceremony is still can be observed in back side of the Chaitya.
