The Pashupatinath Temple Evening Aarati Tour package is a mesmerizing tour providing travelers with an opportunity to witness a spectacular evening aarati session on the premises of Pashupatinath Temple.

Pashupati Aarati also called Pashupatinath Aarati, Pashupatinath Evening Aarati or Pashupatinath Sandhya Aarati is a religious fiesta where one can observe the passion, devotion, and emotion of pious devotees. Thousands of devotees and tourists show up at Pashupatinath Temple every evening to be mesmerized by Pashupati Evening Aarati. The Pashupati Aarati incites you to surrender yourself and enjoy the moment chanting the hymns, dancing, and worshipping the Lord Shiva.
Pashupatinath Sandhya Aarti is when one takes a moment off of life’s hustle to indulge oneself in the worship of Lord Shiva, the destroyer of all evil in the universe. It is a perfect way to get reminded that Lord Shiva is overlooking us.

Aarati is a Hindu Ritual in which light from the flame (fuelled by ghee, oil, or camphor) is waved in front of the god synchronously to show our veneration. Most of the time the waving of the flame is accompanied by a chant or hymn with ringing of the handbell. Aarati can express different meanings depending upon whom it is directed. Aarati directed to God teaches us humility and veneration.
Pashupatinath Aarati holds similar intent, but the display is extravagant and mesmerizing. Pashupatinath Aarati is carried out every evening on a platform raised above the holy Bagmati river opposite the main Temple.
Before the Pashupatinath Sandhya Aarti begins there is an assemblage of musicians, priests, dancers, and devotees. Then there are a series of dance performances, musical performances, acts, and religious recitations all celebrating Lord Shiva. On auspicious occasions, the event is even more grandeur.
After all acts and dances are finished the aarti begins accompanied by the musical performance, making the ambiance of the place even more vivacious and beautiful. Then 3 or 5 priests in red shirts and yellow dhoti start preparing the flame.
Cotton wicks drenched in oil are piled up in “Aarati Deepak”, a special utensil to light up the aarti flame. Then synchronous to the bhajan and music, the flame is waved pointing toward the Pashupatinath temple. The priest performing Pashupatinath Evening Aarati blow “Sankh” (conch shell). The whole procession is awe-inspiring.
You can see people dancing, singing, and surrendering themselves in the worship of Lord Puja. As all the onlookers and devotees chant, the whole religious complex reverberates with the name of Lord Shiva.
After around 20 minutes of chanting and losing yourself to Shiva, the Pashupatinath Temple Evening Aarti concludes.
Pashupati Aarati commences sometime after sunset. The timing for Pashupati Aarati varies depending on the seasons. During shorter days the aarti will commence quite early, and vice versa.

If you are booking the Pashupati Temple Evening Aarati with Breakfree Adventures you don’t need to worry about the timing, we will contact us just at the right time to make sure that you have plenty of time to explore the religious complex and witness the mesmerizing Pashupatinath Aarati.

Breakfree Adventure operates both Private and Group tours for Pashupatinath Evening Aarati tours, however, we do not arrange Group tours. Having 20-25 people sign up for the same-day tour on the exact same day is a difficult conquest, which is one of the major limiting factors preventing us from arranging a Group Tour. Also, many of our clients complained about the tour not being as personalized as they would have liked, which led us to terminate arranging the Group Tours.
However, we do operate Group Tours if you already have a group, at a discounted rate. You will be able to enjoy the same trip at a significantly discounted rate (almost 50%) if you book it with a group. We will make all the arrangements accordingly and also may provide extra Guides to maintain a proper Guide to tourist ratio to ensure the optimum quality of the tour.
