Pashupatinath Temple, Hindu temple in Kathmandu, Nepal
The temple complex extends along both sides of the Bagmati River with a main pagoda structure featuring copper roofs covered in gold sheets.
The temple's origins date to 400 CE, with numerous renovations completed during the reign of medieval kings, including a major reconstruction in 1692.
The temple serves as Nepal's primary site for Hindu cremation ceremonies, performed on elevated platforms beside the sacred Bagmati River.
The temple opens from 4:00 AM to 9:00 PM with a midday closure, and entrance costs 1,000 rupees for international visitors.
The main sanctuary contains a stone Mukhalinga wrapped in a silver serpent, displaying four different faces that represent various aspects of Shiva.
