The Mandala is a symbolic architecture located in the Maitighar of Kathmandu Valley. It is an island at the intersections of the roads from Thapathali, New Baneshwor, Bhadrakali and at the southeast of Singhadurbar. This monument forms an important landmark in the beautification of Kathmandu city and a masterpiece of art depicting Buddhists relics. It also marks the initiation mark stone of one of the major highways of Nepal, Araniko Highway. The Mandala was built in 2001 for the 11th SAARC summit in Nepal to showcase the Nepali art, culture and tradition.
Mandala that has become a locus for political protest.
Due to its proximity to many government buildings, Maitighar Mandala has been the site of numerous protests, especially during the civil war and Maoist insurgency. Other important civic events have been held here including in 2017, when KP Sharma Oli, who was later elected prime minister, hosted the Nepal Patriotic Youth Society. At that event, the largest Nepali flag ever made was raised. The flag measured 32 feet (10 meters) tall and weighed more than 17 pounds (8 kilograms).
