i dont make up the stuff. I just study it. Books are a better source of history than the net. Nepali royalty , tibetan and chinese ones used to intermarry. that says a lot. Nepali royalty also married indian royalty but to a much lesser extent.
by the way the temple i showed you was not a buddhist one it was pashupati nath (shiva) a hindu one. outsiders are not allowed or allowed to take photos but there is a buddha statue inside too. It is also the main temple of the country and reportedly houses part of one of shiva's avatars. Swyambu is the other major stupa and that is buddhist.



the two are usually superimposed to represent the country. like this :


so you see, you are ignorant and just making yourself look like a fool.

Look if you want to believe that the architectural styles resembles China more than India, its totally up to you, but the fact is we have much more temples (with exactly the same architectural style) on the Indian side as compared to Nepal.

You can find similar architectural features in temples all over India, and on awider area, in Thailand, Cambodia and much of the rest of SE Asia.


For what it's worth, China isn't exactly anywhere near as diverse as India or the United States, or even Europe, for that matter.
