Let’s Discover the basic beliefs and lifestyle of Nepalese People 

Nepal is predominant a Hindu country with more than eighty percent following Hinduism , nine percent Buddhism and remaining Christianity, Islam, Sikhs, Jain and others. However, the intrinsic belief of normal Nepalese comprises the values from both Hinduism and Buddhism practices and worships deities from both pantheons. A running joke is that – an average Nepalese is 60 percent Hindu and 60 percent Buddhist, because they are seen celebrating and worshiping in every occasion, making it more than a hundred.

Every day is a festival in Nepal – we just don’t happen to know, because of the multiple ethnic groups and their own culture & traditions, something is always happening somewhere. Despite the popular everybody’s festivals, every ethnic group – more than 125 speaking their own language – have their own distinct style of worship to a variety of deities, following with a ceremony or rituals accordingly.

We will be walking from Paknajol to Swayambunath Stupa, around 2.2 km, for 35 minutes total (one way).
We will stop at two different temples - Indrayani Temple and Shobha Bhagwati Temple before arriving at Swayambunath Stupa. 

To enter Swayambunath Stupa – travelers need to pay Rs 200 as entry fee. All the other attractions are free to enter, although you can make a small donation for the temple if you like.

Evening Aarati Tour at Pashupatinath Temple
User rating

There is a buzz around the place as devotees from all walks of life gather on the banks of the Bagmati. 

As We reach the banks of the river opposite to the temple, the Bhatta (priest) is preparing for the Aarati. On the other side of the river, another priest is placing wood and getting ready for a cremation to take place. we are not the only one who are here to witness this, there are people young and old, local and foreign.

Everyone who is present here wants to indulge in the spiritual journey. One that they will remember for years to come.

There is something pacifying about Pashupatinath. Standing on the banks of the holy Bagmati, the temple is one of the most important Hindu shrines in the world. Devotees from all across the globe come visit the temple which has also been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built around the 5th century, this holy pilgrimage is said to have existed from the beginning of the millennium when a Shiva lingam was discovered here.

 

Tourists (non-Hindus) are forbidden from the temple itself; however, they can visit the exteriors, the ghats, river and most importantly the aarati area opposite to the Pashupatinath Temple.

This evening aarati is an event worth watching. Three priests line up on the bank of Bagmati from where they can get a direct view of Pashupatinath Temple. Aarati is a ritual of worship in which light from wicks soaked in ghee (purified butter) is offered to God. The Pashupatinath aarati follows three priests conducting the custom with oil lamps, lanterns and other religious elements by chanting sacred mantras.

The aarati starts with worship with coal incense that is burned with vegetable oil and different kinds of wood. As that is happening, a group of devotees start lighting up three large structures with fifty-four diyos (small oil-lamp) which is raised to Lord Shiva. The priests first dip the lights four times on the bottom; circle it seven times on the top in perfectly coordinated motions.
