Donation Guidance

Introduction

Donations at Pashupatinath should move through official channels. The goal is clarity, accountability, and respect for the temple's own systems.

Use this page to understand where to donate, how to avoid unofficial intermediaries, and what to confirm before making a larger contribution.

Where to donate

  • Use official donation boxes and temple-authorized counters only.
  • Ask for a receipt when making a larger contribution or ritual booking.
  • Confirm whether your donation is general support or tied to a specific ritual purpose.

How to donate responsibly

  • Avoid handing money to unofficial intermediaries outside the formal support points.
  • Keep cash organized before you reach the counter so you do not slow a busy queue.
  • If you are unsure which channel applies, ask the nearest staffed desk first.
