Haleshi Mahadev - Janakpur Tour: 06 Nights / 07 Days
Haleshi Mahadev is one of ancient sacred temple lies in Khotang district of eastern Nepal. It is believed that inside the temple, the Haleshi Cave has been dwelling for 6000 years, where Lord Shiva hid while the demon Bhasmasur was chasing him to use his power given by Lord Shiva himself. It is located at the top of hilly region in between the holy rivers of Dudhkoshi to the right and Sunkoshi to the left with offering full of natural beauty.
There are three mysterious caves, which are believed to be the three eyes of lord Shiva. As we see in the first cave, we see an image of lord Shiva which is called as Haleshwar Mahadev. In the second cave there is an image of Nandi. On the other hand, the beautiful and mysterious natural caves; full of different natural images, look as if the stone-carving artist has done it carefully taking a lot of time. Here, the images are all inside the caves which themselves are mysterious.
Lord Vishnu was the first ever devotee to pay homage to the Haleshi Mahadeva in the Satya Yuga, the golden age where as Balaram did in the third age called Dwapar Yuga. Afterwards, many kings, sages, devotees, philosophers, thinkers, hermits, abbots, ascetics and Shankaracharya have been paying homage to this sacred place.
There is a custom of performing special rituals ceremonies of Haleshor Mahadeva during some festivals such as Bala Chaturdashi, Shiva Ratri, Ram Nawami and T**z etc. In between, devotees perform various other religious performances like fire sacrifice and recitals of the Rudri, the Chandi and the Vedas.
Haleshwor Mahadeva is taken as the god of fulfilling wishes and giving boons to the real devotees. We believe this is only the place for the people all over the world to visit once in a lifetime and watch the beautiful, mysterious amazing and purely religious place where the people are traditionally rich in their culture. Similarly, this place is equally important for Buddhist religion also as they considered this cave as Maratikas cave associated with Guru Padmasambhava blessing as immortal life by Buddha Amitayus. Hence, this temple is really a matter of pride to all of us.
