Swayambhunath in the Kathmandu Valley is said to be the oldest Buddhist temple in Nepal. According to legend, it was built in the 1st century by King Manadeva of the Licchavi dynasty in ancient Nepal, so if this is true, it would have a history of about 2000 years.

There were two kids in Swayambhunath, which is part of the "Kathmandu Valley" and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They must be monks, because they are properly clads in a robe. In contrast to the long history of the temple, they were young monks overflowing with youth.
