In Pictures: Harinam Kirtan in Pashupatinath

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness(ISKCON) performed a Harinam Kirtan in Pashupatinath on Monday, July 26, 2021. Harinam Kirtan is chanting for Lord Krishna. It is believed that chanting the divine name of Lord Krishna, destroys sinful thoughts and when people chant the name in a group, it is not only beneficial for them, but also for those who are moving around. 

The month of Shrawan is considered to be sacred in Nepal. During this month, especially on Mondays, devotees, despite all ages and sexes, go to Shiva temples to worship Lord Shiva.  

What is to be noted is that gatherings of large crowds at temples are still prohibited by the government to curb the spread of COVID.
