Pashupati Area Development Trust has urged visitors to the temple not to carry plastic materials, bearing in mind the increasing environmental pollution.
The Pashupati Area Development Trust bid farewell to Shankaracharya Nishchalananda Saraswati from the Govardhan Math in Jagannathpur in India who arrived at the Pashupatinath Temple to observe the Mahashivarati Festival.
Many Nepali Hindus are observing the Mahashivaratri festival by offering prayer to and worshiping Lord Shiva today, on Fagun Krishna Chaturdashi (the fourth day of the waning moon in the month of Phagun), as per the lunar calendar.
