As of now, the footfall at Pashupatinath has reached a significant four lakh, as reported by Rewathi Raman Adhikari, Spokesperson of the Pashupati Area Development Trust.

The number of visitors has continued to rise, presenting a logistical challenge for security personnel tasked with managing the event.

The Pashupati Area Development Truest has estimated that a staggering two million devotees will pay homage to the revered deity Pashupatinath by today.
