Nepal

Tolerance and universality


Nation: Nepal
National Day: 19.09.00

 

 

Living together in tolerance on the roof of the world - this is the message communicated by the Nepalese exhibit. The pavilion consists of two merging places of worship, a pagoda temple and a stupa. There has been a co-existence of the world religions Hinduism and Buddhism in Nepal for over 2,500 years now.

At the same time, the pavilion symbolises two fundamental geometric elements of the universe: the stupa in the form of a circle is the symbol of nature, earth, cosmos and creation; the temple in the form of a square stands for humankind and its creativity. In their holistic philosophy of life the Nepalese people also accept antagonisms.

The pavilion is embedded in a mountain pasture, in which mountain plants and shrubs from the heights of the Himalayas can grow and flourish.
