The Neydo Tashi Choling Monastery is one of the biggest monasteries in Nepal and the Golden Buddha statue inside the monastery is 36 feet tall and is the biggest in the country. The inauguration falls on the eve of 'Saga Dawa'. In the monastery's Buddhist teachings, learning and meditation will be practiced. Tibetans believe that the day of Saga Dawa coincides with Buddha's birth, enlightenment and death. REUTERS/Gopal Chitrakar (NEPAL RELIGION SOCIETY IMAGES OF THE DAY)
