Bagmati River Area Temples of Pashupainath Temple

The Bagmati River flows next to the temple and is considered holy because it flows into the Ganges.

It is considered especially auspicious to bath in the Bagmati during the Sivaratri Festival, Magh Sankranti (January 14 or 15), Bala Chaturdashi (Nov/Dec), on full moon days, ekadashis, and for women the Tij Festival in early August or late September.

The cremation ground is near the temple and it is popular place to be cremated. The ashes of persons cremated are sprinkled into the waters of the Bagmati, eventually to be carried to the Ganges.

The Arya Ghat burning ground right next to the temple north of the bridge is only used by royalty for cremations. Next to the ghat is a 7th century statue of Virupaksha, the “Three-eyes Siva.” The Ram Ghat cremation grounds south of the bridge are used by the normal people.

The 6th century Bachhareshwari temple, dedicated to Siva’s consort Parvati, is south of the cremation ghats between the two bridges, on the western bank of the river.

It has Tantric and erotic carvings on it. Nearby is a 3m terracotta Lord Narayan. It is said that at one time during the Sivaratri Festival human sacrifices used to perform here.

There an interesting 7th century half-buried figure of a standing Buddha right outside of the door of the temple.

Further south are the Raj Rajeshwari and Nawa Durga temples. The Pancha Dewal, which has five cupolas, is now used as an old person’s home.

East Bank of River
From across the river, on the east bank of the river, you can get a good view of the Pashupatinath temple and of the happenings on the other side of the river.

There are many Siva lingas on the small hill on the bank of the river.

At the north end of the terrace there is a Siva-linga with a 6th century carving of Siva on it. You can see the golden trident on the temple roof. The trident is the symbol of Siva, and it indicates that it is a Siva temple.

If you cross the river at the cremation grounds and then go south, which is to your right, you come to the Ram Temple. Further south is the Rama Janaki Temple, which has deities of Sita, Ram and Hanuman. Janaki is another name for Sita, the wife of Ram. Next to this temple, with of a statue of Garuda in front of it, is the Lakshmi Narayana (Vishnu) Temple.
