Kaathe Swayambhu Shree Gha Chaitya is a miniature replica of Swayambhunath. It was built around 1650AD and is one of the popular Tibetan pilgrimage site in Kathmandu, Nepal. The stupa is also called Shree Gha-Shanti Ghat Bhajradhatu Mahachaitya or Kathesimbhu stupa or Kashi Swayambhu.[
Thahiti Chowk
Thahiti Chowk dates back to the 15th century stupa which is located at its center. The "Thahiti Stupa" is said to have been built by a Tibetan trader who used to live there. There was a hiti (natural water source with a tap built on it) that the trader discovered produced gold coins.
