KATHMANDU: Arrangement of four different routes has been made public for revellers to offer worship to the Lord Pashupatinath on the occasion of Mahashivaratri festival this year as RSS reported. At a press conference organized on Wednesday, the Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT) shared that arrangement has been made to reach the temple through the Southern Gate via Battisputali-Gaushala-Pingalasthan. Likewise, visitors are allowed to enter through Airport-Tilganga-Rammandir section from the eastern gate and the other route through Mitrapark-Gaurighat-Umakunda-Dakchinmurti-Rudragaunswor and Basuki from northern gate, shared PADT. PADT member-secretary Dr Govinda Tondon said that arrangement was made in a way that the revellers can return from the same way they had entered the Pashupati.
