- Pashupatinath Temple - Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction, also known as Pashupatinath (Lord of Animals), this temple is a revered destination for Hindu devotees worldwide. Constructed around 400 A.D., it is situated by the sacred Bagmati River and adorned with exquisite ancient art and craftsmanship. The temple features four main gates made of silver, each corresponding to the four-faced lingam (a symbol of Shiva), symbolizing the lord’s blessings extending in all directions globally.
Pashupatinath Temple is a sanctuary for numerous Hindu Sadhus from across the globe. These holy men, often seen with long dreadlocks, meditate by the Bagmati River and occasionally smoke marijuana, as it is believed that Lord Shiva enjoyed marijuana in his abode, Kailash. Sadhus at Pashupatinath often emulate Lord Shiva.
