Pashupatinath, the holiest site in Nepal
View to the two-story gilt-roofed pagoda of the Pashupatinath Temple complex, a sacred Hindu temple and cremation site on the bank of the Bagmati river. The temple's existence dates back to 400 BCE and the present temple was erected in the 5th century by Licchavi King Prachanda Dev after the previous building was consumed by termites. Over time, many more temples have been erected around this two-storied temple. It was rebuilt in the 15th century.
