HIndu devotees

President Ramchandra Paudel has said the Pashupatinath area has ancient, historical and religious significance.

As the month-long fasting of Madhav Narayan began today, Hindu devotees flocked to the banks of holy rivers.

Despite the threat of coronavirus infection looms large, the devotees across the country are thronging the Shiva temples.

This year devotees will be allowed to enter the premises of Pashupatinath temple only via three outer routes during the Mahashivaratri festival on Thursday.
