Pashupatinath Temple Daily Rituals 2021

Pashupatinath is one of the four major holy sites for Shiva devotees in Asia and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The site was built in the 5th century and subsequently restored by the kings of Malla, and was reportedly built in the early millennium when a Shiva lingam has been discovered here. It extends on both sides of the Bagmati River, the biggest temple complex in Nepal that the Hindus consider sacred. The main temple of the pagoda has a gold roof, four silver-capped faces, and excellent woodcarvings. The temple of Pashupatinath is surrounded by temples devoted to many other Hindu and Buddhist gods.

Hindus cremation is taking place along the river on elevated platforms. The gates of the main temple are permitted only for Hindus. The inner sanctuary has a lingam Shiva and the largest statue of the bull Nandi lies facing the temple, the Shiva car. The compound is made up of hundreds of Shiva lingams. Hundreds of thousands of devotees from Nepal and India attract the huge MahaShivaratri Festival in the summer. The Temple of Guheshwori dedicated to Shiva's consort Sati Devi is further east before the Bagmati hits Pashupati.

The temple area also includes Deupatan, Jaya Bageshori, Gaurighat (Holy Bath), Kutumbahal, Pingalastan, and the Forest of Sleshmantak, located three kilometers north-west of Kathmandu on the banks of the Bagmati River.

Other places to explore in the Pashupatinath Temple area

Viewpoint:

This hilltop area provides bird views of the Temple of Pashupatinath, which is otherwise off-limits. Look for the giant golden trident on the north side of the temple and the king's golden figure kneeling under a protective naga (serpent deities) cap south. It is also an unobtrusive location to observe the crematory rites.

Guhyeshwari Temple:

The path leads out from the forest to the large Guhyeshwari Temple in the courtyard, which King Pratap Malla had founded in1653 and which was dedicated to Parvati (Siva's wife). Non-Hindus are prohibited from entering, but from the road, you can see four gigantic gold snakes, supporting the main finial, and in the distance the BodhnathStupa.

The mysterious name of the temple is derived from Nepalese terms Guhya (vagina) and Aishwarya (goddess) – the temple of the vagina of the goddess is literally. According to the legend, Shiva was insulted by the father of Parvati, and the deity was so angry that it burst into fire, inspiring satia, where the widows were burned alive at their husbands' funeral pyres, to practice. The sorrowful Shiva walked the world and Parvati's disintegrating body and Guhyeshwari's genitals. Indian Hindus make the same assertion in Guwahati, Assam, for the Kamakhya Temple.
