February 11: Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT) has decided to reopen the Pashupatinath Temple from today (February 11). The temple was closed since January 19 due to the third wave of coronavirus.

According to a notice issued by the Trust on Thursday, the temple is being opened as per the order of the District Administration Office, Kathmandu, on February 7, that allows worship, meditation or prayers in places like monasteries, temples, mosques, and churches by observing public health standards.  

Although the temple was closed for the public, the priests had given continuity to regular worship by adopting safety standards, PADT Member Dr Ghanashyam Khatiwada had announced earlier. 
Prior to this, the Pashupatinath Temple was closed for devotees during March, 2020 when the first wave of COVID-19 hit the country. The temple was reopened after nine months.    
When the second wave hit during last April, the temple authorities again closed the temple owing to the risk of Delta variant of COVID-19. The temple was reopened after nearly five months as the number of COVID-19 cases began to decline in the country.
