Shiva Lingams around Pashupatinath premises. Kathmandu, Nepal.

Shiva Ratri
Shiva Ratri is a twenty-four-hour adoration of Lord Shiva, the god of destruction in the Hindu triad and one of the valley’s most revered deities. Throughout the year, Pashupatinath attracts sadhus, mendicants, and other devotees, but on the festival day thousands of pilgrims arrive to take a purifying bath in the scared Bagmati River and then pay homage to the sacred lingam inside the main Pashupatinath temple. Throughout the day and well into the night, one can witness ash-covered sadhus, foreheads painted with tridents, emulating Lord Shiva by performing various yoga feats. Mahashiva Ratri is also a time for many Shivite followers to debate the great Hindu texts.
