Nepal President participates in 'Kshama Puja', inaugurates new 'Jalahari' at Pashupatinath Temple

Nepal President Bidhya Devi Bhandari on Wednesday participated in "Kshama Puja" and administered the inauguration of the new 'Jalahari' at Pashupatinath Temple.

President Bhandari reached the revered Hindu holy site in the late afternoon and performed the special worship for atonement and administered the inauguration of the new 'Jalahari', the base of Shiva Linga inside the temple.

Thirty-three Brahmins from India have come for worship before placing the golden 'Jalahari' in the main Shivalinga of the Pashupatinath Temple.

They have been worshiping for few days.

A total of 121 priests of Bhagwat Ashram and Pashupati are performing pooja.

The decision of the government to replace the base of the Shiva Linga with a gold filling came into controversy as historians claimed that it is against historical and religious values.

Many activists protested the plan to replace the ancient silver base with gold.

Two writ petitions were also filed in the Supreme Court on Monday against the government's decision to install golden Jalahari at the Pashupatinath Temple.

Big Blow To Netanyahu From Israelis: Angry Hostages Families File 112 Cases Against Israeli PM [Video]

Big Blow To Netanyahu From Israelis: Angry Hostages Families File 112 Cases Against Israeli PM

In a dramatic move, 112 Israelis, including families of hostages held in Gaza, have filed a lawsuit against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government for failing to prioritize the safe return of captives. The plaintiffs accuse the government of violating fundamental laws and neglecting their rights, expressing frustration over 15 months of inaction. Families, represented by Attorney Professor Barak Medina, claim the government's unilateral decisions, without consulting security officials, have contributed to the prolonged suffering. As families demand answers, Netanyahu’s office disputes reports of a potential exchange deal with Hamas. The case, now in Israel’s Supreme Court, is expected to put immense pressure on the government to act. #IsraelLawsuit #NetanyahuUnderFire #HostagesFamilies #GazaCaptives #IsraeliJustice #FamilyRights #SupremeCourtIsrael #NetanyahuAccountability #HostagesRights #IsraelGovernmentFail #HamasExchangeDeal #PressureOnNetanyahu #IsraeliFamiliesFight #CaptivesReturn #LegalBattleIsrael Also Read Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Confirms Troop Presence in Syrian Buffer Zone for Security Reasons :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-occupation-buffer-zone-syria-security-011-4018801.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Intensifies Strikes in Lebanon as Netanyahu Promises Strong Response to Hezbollah Violations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deadly-strikes-israel-lebanon-netanyahu-iron-fist-011-4005657.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Endorses Proposed Ceasefire Agreement with Hezbollah Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-supports-ceasefire-agreement-lebanon-hezbollah-011-3999341.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.152~GR.124~
