Temples to remain closed this Dashain

Kathmandu, 17 October: Temples and shrines will not be opened for devotees during the Bada Dashain festival in the country. The concerned priests will carry out the necessary daily rituals but not allow visitors in considering the increasing spread of Corona Virus across the country, including in the capital. The Pashupatinath temple, Guheswari, Jayabageswari and other temples will remain closed during the festivals, according to the Pashupati Area Development Trust.

Meanwhile, the Home Ministry has also issued a circular to all the 77 district administration offices to not allow the opening of the temples and shrines for the public.
