Nepal earthquake: Pashupatinath Temple unharmed

The famous 5th century Pashupatinath Temple here has survived the massive 7.9 magnitude earthquake that flattened several world heritages like iconic Dharhara tower and Darbar Square in Nepal. “The Pashupatinath Temple is safe, we have checked the shrine many times and it has developed no cracks,” a devotee said.

The temple is the oldest Hindu temple in Kathmandu whose existence dates back to 400 AD. Many people have taken shelter in the temple as they “feel it is the safest place to be during this devastating time.”
