The Pashupatinath Temple is a famous, sacred Hindu brow dedicated to Pashupatinath and is situated on the banks of the Bagmati River 5 kilometres north-east of Kathmandu Valley in the east part of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. This kind of temple is considered one of the sacred wats or temples of Hindu faith. The temple serves as the seat of the countrywide deity, Lord Pashupatinath. This kind of temple complex is on UNESCO World Heritage Sites's list Since 1979. This kind of "extensive Hindu temple precinct" is a "sprawling collection of temples, ashrams, images and inscriptions raised over the centuries along the banks of the holy Bagmati river" and is included among the eight monument groups in UNESCO's designation of Kathmandu Pit as a cultural history site. One of the major Festivals of the temple is Maha Shivaratri on which day over 800, 000 devotees visit here.
The twelve Jyotirlinga (in India) are the body and the Jyotirlinga at Pashupatinath in Kathmandu (Nepal) is the brain over this body.
The temple is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams (Holy Abodes of Shiva) on the place. Kotirudra Samhita, Chapter 14 on the Shivalingas of the North, in Shiva Purana mentions this Shivalinga as the bestower of all wishes.
