A close-up, upward shot captures a large, golden Buddhist stupa against a clear blue sky in Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Nepal. The lower visible section of the stupa features the iconic "Buddha's Eyes" painted in blue and white, with red accents, on a golden, tiered structure. A red and green decorative band runs horizontally just above the eyes. From the golden spire of the stupa, numerous colorful Tibetan prayer flags, in shades of blue, white, red, green, and yellow, extend outwards and flutter vigorously in the wind. The very top of the stupa is adorned with more colorful fabrics and flags. A dark bird flies from right to left across the upper part of the frame, passing near the prayer flags. The scene is brightly illuminated by daylight, highlighting the golden details of the stupa and the vibrant colors of the flags. No visible text is present.
