10 kg gold missing from Nepal’s famous Pashupatinath temple

Nepal Pashupatinath Temple: The famous Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, where thousands of devotees come to pay obeisance daily, but the devotees who reached there on the afternoon of June 25 were surprised to see the door of the temple closed. There was an atmosphere of chaos in the temple, Nepali Army, Nepal Police and Armed Police Force personnel were taking people out of the temple.

In fact, the matter is that 10 kg gold has been stolen from the Pashupatinath temple out of the gold offered to Lord Bholenath. After which the investigating agency CIAA started its investigation on June 25, for which the temple was closed. So that CIAA, the agency investigating corruption in Nepal, can enter the temple. Those people were accompanied by the Gold and Silver Sellers Association and people from the Mines and Geology Department.

Was the gold stolen or…
It is said that in 2021, 108 kg gold was offered to Lord Bholenath in the form of Jalhari in Pashupatinath temple, out of which 10 kg gold is missing. At the same time, the story of 108 kg gold offered to God is also very interesting. Which we will try to know further and also where did the 10 kg gold of Pashupatinath temple go? The question arises whether the gold was stolen or the 10 kg gold did not reach the temple at all.

First of all there is the question of theft of gold. This theft case started from the Parliament of Nepal where the case of theft of 10 kg gold out of 108 kg Jalhari jewelery offered to Lord Bholenath was raised. After which this matter caught fire all over Nepal and the government handed over its investigation to CIAA, the agency investigating corruption. In this connection, people from CIAA and other agencies had reached the temple on 25th June. To check the weight of the gold and its quality, the investigating agencies took the Jalhari of gold with them. Although its report is yet to come.

Full story of Jalhari
However, after all this the question now arises whether the gold has really been stolen or this gold has disappeared before reaching the temple. According to a report published in The Himalayan Times, on January 25, 2021, Nepal’s PM KP Sharma Oli had collected Rs 30 crore for applying gold water on the Shivling present in the Pashupatinath temple. This money was sectioned to the temple by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism within a few days, after which the work of making gold water fountain started.

Narottam Baidhya and lawyer Nikita Dhungana filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Nepal against offering so much gold in the temple, even before the gold jalhari was offered to the Shivling, but even before the decision of the Supreme Court came on 24 February President Bidhya Devi Bhandari offered the Jalhari made incomplete in haste to the Shivling. After which the Supreme Court banned the installation of Jalhari on the same day.

Now, because the incomplete Jalhari was offered to Bholenath before the order of the Supreme Court, the work that was to be done to install a base of 10 kg gold under the Shivling remained incomplete. Now because this waterfall was installed with the help of nutbolts and nails, the devotees started raising the issue of embezzlement in this gold offering.

The secretary of Pashupati Area Development Trust said this
If reports are to be believed, in 2021 too, the matter of embezzlement in 108 kg gold had come to the fore and CIAA had started its investigation. But then this investigation was closed without reaching any result. But now the investigation has started again and this time the secret is expected to be revealed in front of the people as to where the 10 kg gold has gone and whether the gold offered in the temple is genuine or adulterated.

However, Milan Kumar Thapa, secretary of Pashupati Kshetra Vikas Trust, is clearly denying the disappearance of gold from the temple. Now whether the gold has been stolen or embezzled, it can be known only after the CIAA’s investigation report.
