The Pashupati Temple was constructed under the Somadeva dynasty in the 3rd Century BC. The gilt roof was first added to the temple in 1297 AD. In 1360 the lingam was replaced and the temple was further renovated bu King Bhupalendra Malla in 1754. Today, the temple is a part of a much larger complex. The largest part is only accessible for Hindus, leaving most tourists with tantalizing glimpse from the gates.
