President Bidya Devi Bhandari has made a sacramental resolution regarding the materials to be distributed to the sadhus and ascetics coming to Pashupatinath for homage on the occasion of the Maha Shivaratri festival.
The Pashupatinath Temple, which has been closed due to the third wave of coronavirus, will reopen on Friday, February 11, according to the Pashupati Area Development Trust.
Making headlines for the past few days is the Pashupati Dharamshala land lease issue. The ‘Marwari Sewa Samiti’ has been leasing the land for the past many years and pays a support donation amount to the Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT).
Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Prem Bahadur Ale has said the agreement of operating Nepal Bharat Maitri Pashupati Dharmashala was withdrawn through a ministerial level decision.
