They came, they celebrated (and puffed) and they are leaving the Pashupati Nath Temple. Shadhus who came Kathmandu for Shivaratri festival leave the temple and head back to their original destination. All pics except the last four by Shruti Shrestha
And he got the travel fare: A yogi counts the money (Rs. 50 and more) that he got as Dachhina at Pashupati Nath during a farewell ceremony of Shadhus.
Not just male Sadhus but their female counterparts also enjoyed the Shivaratri ceremony.

Sorry, to post this message in unrelated topic.
nice pictures….
its nice reporting… now we cant just always look into the maoist thing… u c nepalisongs bro… umm, we do similar things, dont we?;)
Nepalisongs’ predisposed views against Maoists clearly reflect the failure of people like him to comprehend the scenario in a broder perspectives.
Wake up dude! The country is in WAR! The GORY pictures that you pretend to resent are not going to vanish unless the people like you START thinking rationally, not emotionally, to step up pressure on the royal regime which is keen on prolonging the conflict to marginalise the political forces and hold on to power illegitimately.
What a [icd] pictures, how come those Hindu idols, I don’t think they are Nepalese Priests, Let them head to back India soon cause it feels [icd]
hey janadesh2006,
