SRI PASUPATHY NATH TEMPLE

After breakfast we had been to Sri Pasupathy nath Shiva temple. Since in Nepal cows are treated as god, leather items are not allowed in the temple which includes, belt, purse, watch strap, etc. The temple is in huge area. The Karpa kirugam has 4 entrances, The moolavar has four faces are chiselled on all the four sides. Unlike other temples the moolavar Gopuram is constructed in wood similar to Buddhist monastery / Chinese temples. There is a huge Nandi in front of the moolavar, covered with brass metal sheet. This has got the recognition of UNESCO. There are about 1008 Shiva lingams are installed, which will take at least 15 minutes to go around them. Peoples from India throng this temple on all days. The last rites were conducted for those who died at the temple and burnt near the temple ghat.
