More than 8,000 pilgrims visited the famous religious site, Pathivara, located at an altitude of 3,794 meters above sea level. It is in Taplejung, a hilly district in the east of Nepal. As many as 8,500 visitors reached and conducted puja at the pilgrim site on Tuesday alone. An employee at Pathivara Temple Area, Rajendra Mahat, informed me that they recorded the highest number of arrivals at the religious site on Tuesday—the highest since the beginning of the fiscal year. Earlier, they had witnessed the arrival of 6,600 people on the day of the Dashain festival.
The record was broken today with the surge in pilgrims' arrivals. It has been difficult for some years to manage the queue for conducting puja conveniently. The Pathivara Area Development Committee and the Pathivara Devi Temple Preservation and Promotion Committee have been coordinating and leading the management of the visitors' arrival and worship. The Committee was informed that a total of 25,368 devouts visited Pathivara from Ghatasthapana to Kojagrat Poornima. However, the number of pilgrims rose sharply. It is a favorable time in terms of weather for a Pathivara visit. Even the roads are being repaired._Rss
