Today, being the first day of my trip, I have come to visit the Pashupatinath temple with my friend, Vikram Seth. It is a beautiful place.
• On reaching the temple, I notice a completely chaotic scenario. The priests, hawkers, devotees, tourists, cows, monkeys, pigeons and dogs are roaming through the grounds.
• The temple is crowded with huge number of devotees rushing to worship the deity. People are even pushing to enter.
• Inside the temple, we worship and offer a few flowers to the deity.
• Outside the temple, a signboard declared that only Hindus could enter the premises of the temple.
• According to me, the place is chaotic and noisy, like most holy places in India.
