After a long time, I visited Pashupatinath with my mother. Before entering the premises we bought some flowers, a coconut, garlands and some prasad. We also took off our shoes and headed toward the temple. There were many monkeys. I got scared of the monkeys. My mom suggested that to hide all the things that were in my hands. I also took videos and photos. There were many devotees just like us. I saw smoke coming out of the forest. I asked my mother about the smoke, she told me that smoke was from the dead body. I saw tourists visiting and clicking pictures. There was one old woman dancing and making everyone laugh so it was very fun. The main temple of Lord Shiva was big and beautiful. It is on the bank of the Bagmati river. We visited all the temples of the Pashupati complex. I also threw the coins to fulfill my wish. I saw the dead body and I felt bad at that time. There is a crematorium in Pashupati. My mother showed me that building. We put on a tika and returned home. I enjoyed that day a lot and also came to know many things about Pashupatinath.
