Updated:11 months, 2 weeks ago

Kathmandu (Nepal), July 21 (ANI): Thousands of Nepali Hindu devotees thronged the holiest temple of Lord Shiva, the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, as they observed the second Monday of Sawan or Shravan. The month of Shravan is considered to be sacred by Hindu devotees, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva, when women keep a fast wearing green, yellow clothes, and red bangles and beads. Monday is considered the day of Lord Shiva. During this month, especially on Mondays, devotees, regardless of their age or gender, go to the Shiva temple to worship the Lord. It is believed that the unmarried girl keeping fast on every Monday of the month shall get the husband of her choice. The married women, however, keep the fast for the good health and prosperity of their husbands and family members. On the second Monday of Shravan, all four doors of Pashupatinath Temple were opened for devotees from 3 AM (Local Time). The Pashupati Area Development Trust expects approximately one million footfalls today alone. Followers of Vedic Sanatan Hinduism observe a fast and perform ritualistic worship of Lord Shiva. Devotees began gathering at the Pashupatinath Temple premises, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, starting from 3 AM (Local Time). The Pashupati Area Development Trust has announced that it will not issue tickets priced below NRs 7,500 for special worship during the month of Shrawan. On this occasion, women especially observe fasts and worship the Shiva temple with great devotion. Since the month of Shravan and Mondays are considered sacred to Lord Shiva, it is believed that bathing, worshipping, and visiting the Shiva temple early in the morning will fulfil one's wishes and bring unwavering good fortune.
