This is from the gangasagar mela in Kolkata, where the pilgrims halt before going to Gangasagar. Found a little boy dressed as Mahadev.
The Gupteshwar Mahadev Cave (known in the local tongue as Bhalu Dulo) is recognized as one of the longest caves in Nepal with a length that exceeds 2 km. The cave sits across the street from the David's Falls (see previous pictures earlier in this album). The long spiral stairs to Gupteshwar which I am on now is interspersed with several Hindu mythological figures, and inside the cave, one can hear the thundering sound of water. As per the local beliefs, the cave was said to be discovered in the 16th century. During those times, there wasn’t any sort of modern-day decorations that you see today. The main entrance of the cave was only constructed around 1991. More notes about the Gupteshwar caves appeared earlier in this album. (see previous pictures). (Pokhara, Nepal, Oct/ Nov. 2019)

Kirateshwar Mahadev Temple is a Hindu temple, identified to be a Hindu pilgrimage site which is located at Legship, West Sikkim, India along the banks of River Rangeet., which has many mythological episodes of the Mahabharata attached to it. The temple is also known as Kirateshwar Mahadev Thaan or simply known as Shiv Mandir by the local people.

The main attraction of the temple are the festival of the Bala Chaturdesi, which is observed in November-December every year and the Shiv Ratri also known as Maha Shivaratri which falls in the month of February or March every year.

Long time ago as the people found miraculously existed a stone manifesting Shiva Ling. The said Shiv Ling is the main effigy of worship.

Gokarna is a village development committee in Kathmandu District in the Bagmati Zone of central Nepal. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 7,508 with 1,768 households.
In the village on the banks of the Bagmati River stands the Gokarna Mahadev temple. It is one of the oldest temple in Nepal contemporary to the Changu Narayan Temple. This temple is of great historical, cultural and archeological importance. It is built in the Newari pagoda style with three tiers and is dedicated to Shiva in the form of Mahadev, the Great God.
Worth the mention and the main reason to go to this temple is the wealth of sculptures of the many different Hindu deities. These fine stone carvings are definitely worth a closer look. Some of them are dated back to the Licchavi Dynasty (C 450–750).
We can explore:
Aditya - the sun god
Brahma and Chandra - the moon god
Indra - the elephant-borne god of war and weather
Ganga - with a pot on her head from which pours the Ganges
Vishnu - as Narsingha
Shiva - as Kamadeva, the god of love - and many other forms
Gauri Shankar - with elements of Shiva and Parvati
Brahma - with four heads
In late August or early September people go to this temple to bath and make offerings in honor of their fathers, living or dead, on a day called Gokarna Aunsi.
Another of those lovingly charming faces in the Dholeshwar/ Dholeshwor Mahadev temple, located just outside Pokhara, Nepal. I loved the lovable face of these brass figures, which seem to grace almost every single temple worth it's salt in Nepal. There are no dragons in HInduism, but a decorative dragon like creature called the Yaali is used as a decoration or embellishment in several temples in southern India. Looking at the mane and the shape of a tail, this could probably also be a depiction of a lion. Whatever, it looks charming, especially with it's tongue hanging out! Detailed notes about the Dholesawar/ Dholeshwor Mahadev temple appeared earlier in this album. This temple is considered particularly important as the presiding deity here is believed to the the head part of the deity in Kedarnath, an important Hindu shrine located in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand (previously part of Uttar Pradesh).
