Shree Pashupatinath Temple in Ilam

A divine experience. Visited during the auspicious Dussera festival time. Busy streets lead to this ancient temple. So many Shiva lingams. Especially the 525 lingers in a maze formation was different experience. The river Bank at the side of the temple reminded of the Manikarnika ghat of Varanasi. A must visit place for any one who comes to Katmandu.

Its was adorable journey and worship there. When I got there. I felt like a heaven. It is also only for Hinduism temple. Dont allowed other cast in that temple. This is powerful Temple for Hinduism.

Teej & Funeral what a combination, so sad & depressing for funeral goers, but what a sight to behold, so many burning pyres, crying faces, heart aching scenes, smell of the dead bodies, just thinking what is this life but as someone said the SHOW MUST GO ON.

।।ॐ नमः शिवाय।।I visited at 7 am on a Saturday during the holy month of Shravan. I was lucky, there was a short line and I got darshan within 15 minutes. Everyone is patient and there is no jostling or pushing. This is one of the 12 jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, and possibly the most famous. Beautiful place, has to be the first place to visit when in Kathmandu. Very serene and calm place.

What a meaningful place for locals & wonderful experience for us. We wittnessed body cremation ceremony while the local guide was explaining more about the history of the temple & hindu religion. It is definitely worth it to hire a guide to whom you pay what you think is appropriate.

Though Gods place is always divine and this is one of the most famous Shiva temples.So suggestions to make ur trip 5 star. Please follow these. There are too many tours who would misguide you, so dont listen to them. Starting from parking walk till gate, on the way you can purchase flowers incase you want to do puja. Just before thr entrance left lane has services like locker, shoe deposit services, etc. Inside if you dont to get into que and give puja, there is option to watch god from outside line. Its very slippery inside due to water all over so please walk carefully.

Nice place to visit here as we visited in the month of June so there was no crowd at all.There is a good mountain view up side where you can reach from the side gate and moving ahead you can see a river by going down stairs. Also There is a Dharmshala To stay there which is available in a price range of 200-500 INR and food is also available for 75 INR.

Pashupatinath Temple is one of the biggest and most sacred Hindu temples of Lord Shiva in the world. When I went there I felt so calm and relaxed. People who work there always keep the place clean and hygienic. Everyone can go there. If you want to go inside the temple. There is a place right near the gate of the temple where you can open your shoes and give them to them in a jute bag to keep your shoes safe and it costs no money. The line to worship the god of the temple properly is always long, especially on Mondays but you can go near the temple without joining the line. And I request you guys to keep the temple clean even though there are people working on the cleanliness of the temple.

Pashupati (World Heritage Siteis worshipped by Lord Shiva devotees. As a tourist, I suggest you not miss the evening bhajan which happens on the backside of the main temple. My favorite place to be in the evening. The entire crowd claps and dances to the tune of Shiva tandav.

I have visited Pashupatinath temple during my last visit, one of the famous temple from nepal. Pasupatianth Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Pashupati. I joined evening Arti around 6pm. it was an amazing experience.This temple was classified as a World Heritage Site in 1979. This "extensive Hindu temple precinct" is a "sprawling collection of temples, ashrams, images and inscriptions raised over the centuries along the banks of the sacred Bagmati river", and is one of seven monument groups in UNESCOs.

Main Sanctum sanctorum houses An one meter high linga with (Panchmukh5 faces namely - Sadyojata, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Vamadeva & Ishana representing the 5 primary elements- air, earth, ether, fire & water. It was reconstructed in the 5th CCE by Licchavi King Prachanda Dev. its present form was constructed by King Bhupalendra Malla in 1697 AD.

Legend of temple : Once Lord Shiva & Goddess Parvati once transformed themselves into antelopes & visited the forest Mrigasthali near the present pashupati temple. Enamored with the beauty of the place, Lord Shiva decided to stay back as a deer. The other deities soon came to know of his mischief & pestered him to resume his divine form by gripping one of his horns, which broke in the process. This broken horn used to be worshiped as a Shivalinga but was buried & lost after a few years. Several centuries later, a herdsman found one of his cows showering milk on the site. Astonished, he dug deep into the site only to find this pashupati Shivalinga.

The most famous Shiva temple in Nepal.. One of top spiritual moments in my life is Pashupathinath Darshan.. Have full of positive energy and a excellent atmosphere.any time crowded and have a river Bagamati.

The exact date of Pashupatinath’s construction is unknown. Despite this fact, the Pashupatinath is considered the oldest Hindu temple of Kathmandu.The earliest evidence of the temple’s existence dates back to 400 A.D. The current main temple of Pashupatinath complex was built in the end of the 17th century to replace the previous one, destroyed by termites.Countless smaller temples were constructed around the main temple on both banks of Bagmati River during the last few centuries.There are numerous legends, connected with the construction of the temple. The most famous one claims, that the temple was built on the site where Shiva lost one of his antlers, while he was in the guise of a deer. He and his wife arrived to the bank of Bagmati and amazed by the beauty of the site decided to change themselves into deers and walk in the surrounding forests.After a while gods and humans decided to return them to their duties, but Shiva rejected to return and they had to use force. In the fight Shiva lost one of his antlers, which later became the first lingam worshipped by Hinduists in Pashupatinath. Later this relic was lost, and according to another legend, found again by a herdsman, whose cow showed the location of lingam by irrigating the place it was buried with her milk.Pashupatinah is a place where century-old Hindu rituals are practiced in their astonishing initial form, giving a chance to the visitors to feel the unique spirit of Hindu traditions of life, death and reincarnation.

Really an awesome experience. I loved it, had a very good darshan. The land of rudrakshaks. The vibration around the temple was something one has to feel and cherish. Whether you are religious or not the feel will make you so positive about life. Being a Bhaktha of lord shiva, there is a magic tht makes you feel happy here.... a life time experience for me and I was so blessed to visit this shrine....

It is a Hindu temple complex classified as world heritage site in kathmandu, very close to airport. The complex has many temples, ashram and a cremation ground on banks of the river. The main diety is shiva, and hence a huge golden Nandi can be seen sitting outside the temple. Though it is Hindu temple, the architecture of temple is in style of pagoda. The temple has 4 entrances, each of them having a long line. Worth visiting for the architecture and for holiness associated with the place. Surrounding the main temple are many other smaller temples. The complex has many pundits offering unsolicited religious services and expect dakshina in return.

Holy place and Lord Shiv Temple. Surrounded by hundreds of other temples, Mrigasthali, Aryaghat, Ashrama. Hindus pay their higher level of respect and they worship for wealth, health, progress, etarnal peace. It is believed that the soul gets mokchya whose funaral done at the Aryaghat.People from the world visit here to feel the energy of the holy place too.

I am not wrong if I call this the ultimate temple for the followers of Hinduism in Nepal.They believe if someone does at this temple, they will be Re-born as humans among us.It is considered as a blessing to be cremated by the side of the river (the Fires you see are creations).The remainings and ash are put into the river for blessing.The close relatives, the sons of the person who is dead shaves their heads off

This is One of the famous temples of shivji. The place is beautiful, although tiles in summers will be very hot, be careful of that while walking. Photography is not allowed inside the temple, but you can click photo till you reach the main gate. There are a lot of monkeys inside the temple so take care of your prasad and all.

Huge temple! I am not religious but it was still worth a visit. Pretty decent valley views. Be respectful and don’t take pictures inside. Just enjoy people watching and general vibe of the place. TIP: There’s a spot on the left near the entrance to securely leave your shoes.

Kathmandu Nepal... "Pashupatinath Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Pashupati, and is located in Kathmandu, Nepal. This temple was classified as a World Heritage Site in 1979."

Historic place with beautiful temples …. It was my first visit and i found it amusing ❤️I always love to visit temples and observe people who have faith in god ❤️There were so many people and the place was crowded as well but I had a beautiful and pleasant day over there ❤️

Its the best place to visit and have tour. Its a holy placeof Hindu and its a worship place of lord Shiva. Whenvisiting this temple you should must visit the garden are... The view of this temple is so nice and beautiful.This placeis so peaceful. You can sit and meditate. The eveningaarti you should must attend. You will feel blessed. This.

Crowded in holiday and mismanaged management. Poor cleanliness. The only good thing is shoes management system and locker facility available. Dont keep your shoes in those flower sellers as there is free cost shoes keeping place in pashupatinath. Parking charge you around Rs. 15 for bikes and scooters but no guarantee of safety of vehicles. The temple itself is good and only entry of Hindu is available. NO PHOTO inside the temple but people take it but dont do it you will be in trouble. Hope Shiva ji will bless you all. Take care and be healthy.

No word to describe the beauti of this temple. Feeling awesome. Very nice view from inside as well as outside. Must visit place. Very neat and clean inside temple. If I going to describe in word then the word have no limit. Enjoy the awesome feeling after visiting.

A beautiful temple with old tradition attached to the very core of the temple. There are lot of small temples in the vicinity of the temple. It is situated beside the Bagamati river. In fact the river flows through the temple. The exact date of the erection of the temple is uncertain. There is huge stairs that needs to be climbed in order to gain access to the upper portion of the temple. There is an exit to the main road from the upper portion of the temple.Note: I myself was a tourist from Bangladesh. Suggestion for other tourist like me: Bargain with the taxi driver as much as possible. They will charge higher fare the moment they will get to know you are a foreigner. If a taxi driver demands 1500 Nepali rupee, start your bargain from 400 Nepali rupee.

We visited last year while tripping , all kinds of Gods are here. Specially famous for Shiv mandir. Its A huge temple and a wonderful spiritual place to spend the day. A place where soul are burned every second,

This is a beautiful temple and we are blessed to be able to witness and so freely stroll it. Recommend that people do not take advantage of this privilege, however.

The magnificent sanctum devoted to Lord Shiva draws in thousands of devotees who come to offer their prayers and seek blessings from him. Sprawled over a large area with temples and ashrams, it is believed that the Jyotirlinga housed in the Pashupatinath temple is the head of the body which is made up of the twelve Jyotirlinga in India. In 1979, the magnificent temple was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Glad to visit this historical place during my Nepal time.

Its the best place to visit and have tour. Its a holy place of Hindu and its a worship place of lord Shiva. When visiting this temple you should must visit the garden area and forest area . That is where real views come. This some photos might help you.
