Charumati Stupa also known as Chabahil Stupa, (and Dhan Dhoj Stupa) is a stupa near Boudha Stupa in the ward of Chabahil, Kathmandu, Nepal.
History
It was built by Charumati, daughter of the Indian emperor Ashoka, in the 4th century.[1][2]
In 2003, Charumati Stupa was restored by the locals as it was crumbling due to the "heavy vehicular traffic on the nearby road".[1][2] During its restoration process countless artefacts, coins, and manuscripts were found possibly dating back to the Licchavi era.[2][3] It was again restored in 2015 due to the April 2015 Nepal earthquake.[4]
