Hey, so is "Bouddanath" or "Bodhnath" or something else the most common (American) English spelling? Comments? I'm going do a google vote too... we can always redirect from one to the other if both a valid. Majnoona 23:48, 31 Jan 2004 (EST)

So I have a map in front of me saying "Boudhanath" for the stupa and "Bouddha" for the town. Google suggests "Boudhanath" or "Bodhnath" -- thoughts? Majnoona

Boudhanath is the way Tibetan scholars have written it since a long time and I feel this is how it should be written here since we want to be accurate.

"Boudhanath" looks accurate as that's how it is said in Nepali....
