Trip Overview
Pashupatinath Tour is the spiritual journey to Pashupatinath temple of Kathmandu. Pashupatinath is the most honored God of Nepal located on the bank of the Bagmati River 3 km east of Kathmandu city. The word Pashupatinath has been formed by three Sanskrit words Pashu, Pati, and Nath.
Pashu denotes animal, Pati means protector and Nath represents God. Pashupatinath is hence regarded as the protector of all the living animals. As described in Hindu book ‘Himvatkhanda’ one day Lord Shiva grew tired of his palace atop Mt. Kailash and so went in search of a place where he could escape to. He discovered Kathmandu Valley and came here to live disguising himself as a deer.
Later Vishnu became able to know Shiva and appeal to return back Kailash. But Shiva in the form of deer denied. Vishnu grabbed him by his horns but they shattered into pieces. Then Vishnu used the broken horns to form a Linga on the bank of the Bagmati River which is a present statue of Pashupatinath temple.
After many years people founded temple covering this Shiva Linga. It is believed that Pashupatinath temple was built in the 5th century. At present Pashupatinath has become big complex rather than just a temple because of many temples and statues around it. Here is the rule that Non-Hindus are not allowed to enter the main temple.
