Pashupatinath temple is the holiest Hindu shrine, and the temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is located on the sacred river Bagmati on the eastern outskirts of Kathmandu. Pashupatinath temple is a masterpiece of Hindu architecture. The roof of the temple is made of gold, with four doors made of silver. The two-storied roof is made from copper and is covered with gold. This richly decorated temple with wooden sculptures is believed to make wishes come true. One of the most astonishing decorations of the temple is the enormous golden statue of Nandi – Shiva’s bull. Only Hindus are permitted inside the temple complex. For other religions, followers can go to another side of the temple and see the views of the temple. For Hindus, the Pashupatinath temple is the holiest, and they must visit it once in a lifetime. The following famous temple is Budanilakantha temple, located north of Kathmandu. The Budhanilkantha statue of the Hindu god Vishnu, located approximately 10 kilometers from the center of Kathmandu at the base of the Shivapuri Hill, is the largest and most beautiful stone carving in all of Nepal. It is also the most enigmatic. Carved from a single block of black basalt stone of unknown origin, the Budhanilkantha statue is 5 meters long. It lies in a reclining position inside a recessed water tank (representing the cosmic sea) 13 meters long. Called the Sleeping Vishnu, or Jalakshayan Narayan, the statue depicts the deity reclining on the twisting coils of the cosmic serpent Shesha (Shesha is the eternal, multi-headed king of the serpent deities known as Nagas and also is the servant of Vishnu). Vishnu’s legs are crossed, and the eleven heads of Shesha cradle his head. Vishnu’s four hands hold objects that are symbols of his divine qualities: a chakra or disc (representing the mind), a conch shell (the four elements), a lotus flower (the moving universe), and the club (ancient knowledge). Visit Dakshinkali temple, located 22 kilometers (14 mi) outside Kathmandu and about 1 kilometer (0.6 mi) outside the village of Pharping, one of Nepal’s main temples dedicated to the goddess Kali. Animal sacrifices, particularly of cockerels and uncastrated male goats, are the goddess’s primary worship, especially during the Dashain festival. Another highlight of this tour is the Manakamana temple. Situated atop a 1300-meter hill, 105 kilometers west of Kathmandu, the Manakamana Devi temple is a highly revered sacred place of the Hindu Goddess Bhagwati, an incarnation of Parvati. Manakamana is derived from two words: Mana, meaning heart, and Kamana, meaning wish. It is believed that the Goddess Bhagwati rewards those who make the pilgrimage to her shrine by granting their wishes, and she is especially popular with Newari newlyweds who pray for sons.
