Beautyful Nepal: Nepal has a rich geography

Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia and is located in the Himalay

as, bordered to the north by the People’s Republic of China and to the south, east and west. Nepal has a rich geography.  The mountainous north has eight of the world’s ten tallest mountains, including the highest point on Earth – Mount Everest.  The differences in elevation results in a variety o

f biomes, from tropical savannas to coniferous forests.  Together, these qualities bring hundreds of thousands of tourists to the region each year.  Yet dispite the tourisim industry many Nepalese live below poverty level.
Political turmoil throughout the last two decades has blocked the economic growth of the country.  Until 1990 Nepal was a monarchy running under the executive control of the king.  Since, it has been teetering between a communist and republic rule – triggering violent demonstrations and protests.  Rural communities throughout Nepal are most effected.
Leopards and Roses is devoted to keeping these rural communities alive by employing factories to produce and manufacture their clothing and accessories.  These factories in turn are able to provide work to artisan’s in the surrounding villages.  Knitters, embroiderers and stitchers are able to work from home. This is especially important for the women of Nepal who can earn a living while still caring for their children.

History of Pashupatinath Temple 

The temple was erected a new in the 17th century by King Bhupatindra Malla after the previous building had been consumed by termites.^[5] Countless further temples have been erected around this two -storied temple. These include the Vaishnav temple complex with a Ram temple from the 14th century and the Guhyeshwari Temple mentioned in an 11th-century manuscript. The priests who perform the services at this temple have been Bhat-Brahmins from South India (Karnataka) origin since last 350 years. The priests of Pashupatinath are called Bhattas and the chief priest is called Mool Bhatt or Raval. The chief priest is answerable only to the King of Nepal and reports to him on temple matters on a periodic basis.
The Namboothiri Brahmins from Kerala, India were given the chair to do the rites and rituals. The Travancore Maharaja selected the apt priest and send him to Pasupanath in Nepal. This tradition is reported to have started by the request of Adi Shankaracharya who sought to unify the different states of Bharatam (Unified India) by encouraging cultural exchange. The unique feature of this temple is that only 4 priests can touch the deity. This tradition is supposed to have started by Sage Shankaracharya in 8th century, ostensibly to stop human sacrifice which was prevalent in that temple. This procedure is also followed in other temples around India which were sanctified by Adi Shankaracharya. Malla kings honoured the request of Adi shankarachaya as latter being one of the greatest ever Hindu acharyas.
However,this tradition was broken after the historic political revolution in Nepal which demolished the monarchy and established a secular republic. The newly formed government allowed Nepalese priest to worship by discontinuing the centuries old tradition. There was a widespread protests as many thought this as an interference in their religious tradition. So Nepal is always great . kiss you Nepal.
