Atonement worship is to be offered at the Pashupatinath Temple tomorrow morning, seeking forgiveness as the shrine had to be shut to the devotees for nine months corresponding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Entry of devotees inside the temple, which had continued on a regular basis since ancient time, was prohibited during the pandemic owing to the risk of the transmission.

Adhering to the health safety protocols, devotees will be allowed to offer prayers inside the temple from tomorrow, said Dr Pradip Dhakal, member-secretary of the Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT).
