Nepal is a complete Hindu religious country with countless temples and shrines encompassing millions of idols and statues dedicated to gods and goddesses. Yet, some temples have goddesses worshipped as living goddess (kumari) in Kumara Bahal in Basantapur Durbar Plaza. Shiva (god) himself took birth and as per the Hindu faith he created the earth, space, and solar system, and seven energies of the universe are present in his body. We believe that he is the creator. The incarnation of Shiva himself is present in Pashupatinath temple (The temple of Living Beings). Hindu pilgrims primarily from Nepal and India believe that when you go to Pashupatinath temple it provides you mokshya (soul in pure state after death).
