नेपालका मन्दिरहरु

नेपाललाई मन्दिरहरु को देश् भनेर चिनिन्छ। हरेक मन्दिर को आ-आफ्नै महत्व र ईतिहास छन। लाखौं को सन्ख्य मा मानिस हरु मन्दिर जाने गर्छन्। चाड पर्व मा त झन देश विदेश का भक्तजन को घुइचो लाग्ने गर्छ।

पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिरPashupatinath Temple

The Pashupatinath Temple is the largest Hindu temple and is considered to be the holiest of all Hindu Temples. This is a two-tiered golden temple with four silver doorways, hundreds of Shiva linga's shrines and holy symbols. It is located on the holy river - Bagmati, 6 km east of Kathmandu. Non- Hindus are not allowed into this temple.

It is believed that this temple was built long before the Christian era begin. Its original beauty still remains with the beautifully sculpted stone sculptures found here. Thousands of Hindus come each year on Shivaratri.

जानकी मन्दिरJanaki Temple

Dedicated to Sita, the Janaki Mandir located at Janakpur is traditionally held to stand on the spot where King Janak came across the baby in a furrow in a field. Despite its imposing size the temple comes into view somewhat unexpectedly, being approached via a narrow, twisting alleyway.

The mandir was built in 1911 by a local princess at the cost, it is said, of nine lakhs (Rs 900,000). Both the overall appearance and architectural detail of the temple are Islamic in influence, the dome in particular being reminiscent of a Rajasthani palace.

The silver doors to the interior of the shrine are opened daily from 5-7am and 6-8pm when the flower-bedecked statue of Sita, reputed to have been found in the River Sarya near Ayodyha, can be viewed. Beside her are figures of Rama and his half-brothers Lakshman, Bharat and Satrughna.
