Another long awaited day has come to visit the most sacred place of Kathmandu, Pasupathinath temple. I was ready by 7AM and went to the temple by 8AM in a cab. Wow, what a darshan !!! Lord Shiva ling is with 5 faces (pancha mukha) and each face denotes one direction (east, west, north, south, up).
The original Siva linga here is considered to be half body of lord Siva in the form of bull (the face part). The tail part is in Kedarnath. However, original Siva Linga of Pasupathinath, is buried in the earth. The Siva Linga that we see with naked eye is a pratista, not swayambhoo.
In the evening, we went to another extraordinary place called, Jal Narayan temple. Another miracle of Lord Vishnu with a very big swayambhoo Vishnu idol that is always in water. An idol that you cannot take your eyes off, an idol that you want to go visit again and again !!!
After dinner, I prepared for my return travel from Kathmandu->Delhi->Hyderabad->Visakhapatnam. The water that I brought in a can from Manasa Sarovar, had to be packed carefully with glue, m-seal and tape etc.
That way, the great Kailash Manasa Sarovar yatra comes to an end with lots of memories and blessings of Lord Siva.
