Kathmandu [Nepal], December 16 (ANI): Hundreds of devotees flocked to the Pashupatinath Temple on Wednesday, after it reopened its gates following a hiatus of nine months due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The devotees prayed for an early end to the pandemic and return of normalcy in the Himalayan region.
Adhering to the public health protocol, the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kathmandu opened from 6 am (local time) today with COVID-19 restrictions in place.
"I had waited on for long. I came back from abroad before the lockdown and had not got a chance to enter the temple. I am blessings those who made this possible, may god bless them and may Pashupatinath protect them," Padma Panta, one of the devotees who visited the temple earlier today, told ANI.
