On the occasion of the Haritalika Teej festival, devotees are flocking to temples across the country, including the Pashupatinath Temple in the federal capital.

The Pashupatinath Temple opened all four doors at 3 am on Monday morning to welcome devotees arriving to pay homage to Lord Shiva in celebration of the Teej festival.

Four queues have been arranged for the devotees to enter the Pashupatinath temple. Only women were allowed to enter the main temple after 6 am.
