Pashupatinath

This is nepals oldest and largest Hindu site. It is regarded as the most sacred temple of Shiva (Pashupati) in the world. Thousands of pilgrims from all over the world, particularly from Nepal and India pay homage to this temple everyday. "Shivaratri" or night of lord Shiva is an especially important day in this temple when tens of thousands of people throng here for the annual celebration. Said another way, this is where the burn folks up and pour their ashes into the river. This goes on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! You got NO right to complain about YOUR neighbors! A shot of the area.
