On the banks of the sacred Bagmati River in Kathmandu you will find one of the largest Hindu temples in the Subcontinent: the Shiva Temple of Pashupatinath. Its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site adds to its cultural and historical value. Pashupatinath is much more than just a large complex with a wide range of temples. The thing that attracts the most attention are the traditional funeral burnings. For the Nepalese people it is a great honor to be cremated here on the banks of the sacred Bagmati River.
