Devotees Flock to Pashupatinath, Nagpokhari, and Taudah for Nag Panchami
Summary
Devotees have flocked to Pashupatinath, Nagpokhari, and Taudah since early morning to mark Nag Panchami with puja, worship, and darshan. Special arrangements, including an early opening at Vasukinath temple and a fair at Nagpokhari, have drawn large crowds across Kathmandu and Kirtipur.
Key Points
- Devotees gathered early at Vasukinath temple in Pashupatinath, Nagpokhari, and Taudah to observe Nag Panchami with puja and darshan.
- The Pashupati Area Development Trust said Vasukinath temple was opened from 3:00 AM, and a long queue formed for special worship.
- A large number of Bol Bam pilgrims also arrived at Pashupatinath carrying holy water from Sundarijal.
- At Taudah, traditional snake worship through the water yagya ritual has largely stopped since 2070 BS, raising concern that the practice may disappear.
