It is told that, as Pashupati Lord Shiva watches over the souls of men. According to a legend recorded in native texts, particularly the Nepalamahatmya and the Himavatkhanda, the Hindu god Shiva once escaped from the other gods in Varanasi to Mrigasthali. Mrigasthali is a forest on the alternative bank of the Bagmati River from the temple. There, within the sort of antelope, he slept along with his partner Parvati. When the gods found him there and tried to bring him back to Varanasi, he jumped across the stream to the alternative bank, where one in all his horns burst into four pieces. After that, Shiva was worshipped as Pashupati (Lord of Animals) in a four face (Chaturmukha) Linga.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Suggested Tour<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrimagetour.in\/pashupatinath-temple-tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pashupatinath Temple Tour Package<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Watch_Out_For_At_Pashupatinath_Temple\"><\/span><strong>Things to Watch Out For At Pashupatinath Temple<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pashupatinath Temple is a square, two-tiered temple designed on a single-tier pedestal and it stands 23.6 metres high.
