My Walks of Doleshwor

 This time I am going to explain about my walks in religious place called Doleshwor, considered as a head portion of shiva, located in Bhaktapur, Nepal. This place was not so popular till the pilgrims were swallowed in Kedar Nath, India.  When hindu people faced such disastrous incident, they came to know that Nepal has another option of Kedar Nath.After identifying  Doleshwor as an another substitution of Kedar Nath, one of the four dham to be visited by every hindu in their life, this temple is  being very popular in Nepal after Pashupati Nath temple. The high density of hindu people around the world are used to coming here for worshipping lord shiva. The main importance of this temple is that it is taken as the head portion of lord shiva. Considering these things into my mind, I was moving there with my sister’s family.

My sister, Kalpana Sitaula, had a dream to burn one tenth million numbers of threads , which is called Lakh Batti in Nepali, made by her own hand and the location was Doleshwor. 

 It is believed in hindu culture that after burning such numbers of threads, our dreams and expectations gets fulfilled. So, I, being a Hindu culture follower, was also mixing with them for celebration. After completing some sort of worshipping by priests, we were allowed to burn such threads.

With the burning threads, you can see people are doing some sort of touch in the flames with the sugarcane. It is Hindu myth that we will easily pass the hell river after doing such activities. So, people seems curious to touch.This is a complete photo of Lakh Batti, one tenth million threads burned my sister, Kalpana Sitaula, who is currently residing in Spain. Really ,it has crucial importance in Hindu culture because these are the burned after dipping completely in pure oil. It has a lot of importance as well which is beyond my knowledge. An expert can further elucidate the importance of this sort of celebration.

Each burning flames of this sort of celebration signifies the power and energy in Hindu Community. To make such large number of threads by hand is really the toughest job. They make it after spending a lot of time and strong determination in their mind.
