HETAUDA: On the second Monday of the holy month of Shrawan, a heavy rush of devotees has been observed since early morning at various Shiva temples across the Hetauda area, including the Bhubaneswar Pashupati Temple, Bhutandevi, and Gorakshadham.

According to Pawan Ghimire, priest of the Bhubaneswar Pashupati Temple, crowds gather at these shrines every Monday during Shrawan, which holds special religious significance in Eastern scriptures.

Along with the large number of devotees queuing up for worship, business has also picked up around the temple premises for items such as bilva leaves, flowers, and fruits.
