In Maha Shivaratri festival, many sadhus come to visit and pray at Shree Pashupatinath Temple here in Kathmandu from diffrents parts of Nepal and India.

There are naked sadhus who wear their hair in thick dreadlocks called jata. Aghori ...

MAHA SHIVARATRI is an annual festival dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, and is particularly important in the Shaivism tradition of Hinduism. Unlike most Hindu festivals which are celebrated during the day, the Maha Shivaratri is celebrated at night.
