Nepal is blessed with most of the highest peaks of the world and a garland of the young mountains, the Himalayas.

In Hinduism, the Himalayas are considered to be the father of the supreme female cosmic power, Shakti, who together with the Lord Rudra (the deity of Pashupatinath) who resides in the Himalayas is the cause of all creation. He is the supreme consciousness present within us and she is the energy with which he manifests and creates all that is present and would ever be present or absent. Lord Pashupatinath is also believed to be Adiyogi, the man who created Yoga. Buddhism is also a widespread religion here and unlike most countries, the two blossom together, supporting each other and not quarreling over little meaningless things. As a result, where the Himalayas give the best routes and treks, the culture gives amazing spiritual recreational sites and places. The Changu Narayan temple is an important site of the Hindus and most specifically, the people of Vaishnava sect. It is an extremely important and auspicious place as it is believed that the Narayan himself got freed of his sins at the place.

As they stopped in astonishment, the tree took the form of Lord Vishnu and said that he was present in the place in the form of a tree and that he has been released from his sins by the action of these locals.

further that Bhasmasur was tricked by Lord Vishnu in touching his head and burning himself.
