Detailed explanation-1: -Ans: The narrator observes a sense of stillness at the Buddhist shrine, the Boudhanath stupa. Its immense white dome is ringed by a road with small shops selling items like felt bags, Tibetan prints, and silver jewelry. The quietness of the stupa stands out amidst the busy business activities that go around it.
Detailed explanation-2: -(ii) The author sees the white dome of Baudhnath Stupa, which was ringed by a road; small shops selling felt bags, Tibetan prints and silver jewellery; and a flute seller holding a pole carrying 50-60 flutes. (iii) The author hears film songs blaring out from the radios; car horns and bicycle bells; and hawkers’ cries.
Detailed explanation-3: -Boudhanath is the largest stupa in Nepal which was probably built during the 14th century after the Mughal invasions. Following the Chinese invasion in 1959, many Tibetans came to this stupa which today has become one of the most important centres of Tibetan Buddhism.
