The Pashupatinath Temple is situated in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal near the Bagmati River. Near the river is where you will find Arya Ghat where most of the dead are taken and cremated.
Each day you will find hordes of people from all over Nepal and India pilgrimaging to the temple of Pashupati in order to give worship to Pashupati, "the master of all living beings in the universe". They start off this process early in the morning where they are blessed by Lord Shiva. Each year there is a formal celebration called Shivaratri, which means "night of Lord Shiva", that is attended to by thousands of people.
Pashupatinath temple is only accessible for Hindu, for those who are not they must be satisfied with viewing the temple from a distance. Even from a distance it is worth viewing the gold and silver temple and its surroundings with other many temples.
