Sacred Pashupatinath





Had an eerie feeling when I went to Pashupatinath. I was not prepared to be welcomed by a row of dead bodies being cremated along the Bagmati river. The smoke emanating from the on going cremations blankets the riverside giving the place a solemn and sad atmosphere.

Nevertheless Pashupatinath is rich with exotic temples and shrines, and inspiring stairways and walkways making a visit to the place truly worthwhile.
