Pashupatinath Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is located in Kathmandu which is also known
as the city of temples. Pashupatinath Temple is probably one of the most significant Hindu pilgrimage sites in
Nepal which is significant because of the fact that thousands of devotees come to Nepal every year just to visit
Pashupatinath Temple Nepal. And this number increases unbelievably specially on the day of Maha Shiva Ratri.
Maha Shiva Ratri is a festival dedicated to Lord Shiva and it makes sense to celebrate the festival in and
around Pashupatinath Temple Complex since it is also dedicated to Lord Shiva.
