BHAGAWAN PASUPATHINATH OF NEPAL
The Seat of Chaturmukha Siva

THE BALAJI TEMPLE

There located amidst the springs of garden, at the foot of a small wooded hill, a beautiful little pond surrounded by green shurbs and flowery bushes. There is an another artificial pond inside with fountains all around the image of Ananta Narayan with a hood of the great serpent over his head. It is a unique image. Splendid in every part. The craftsmanship of the sculptures indeed is superb. And according to tradition, it was found by a farmer while ploughing the land. Its enchantment and rarity drew appreciation of people 'and they started worshipping it with infinite devotion. Would not 'the recumbent posture of Vishnu image couched on bed of cobras cast enchantments on the theists? Though partly submerged in the pond, its attraction is great. Hence visitation by all.
