Paśupati - Old Photo
Today, the complex of Paśupatināth temple is strictly prohibited for photography and video-graphy.
This photograph was taken in 1920 A.D. when there were no such prohibitions, as very few knew what cameras and films were.
Some may not want to bring this photo into limelight, because of the fact that a holy temple to one of the most revered deities of Hindus (or Śaivas) is wrongly(?) clicked onto a film. But for lovers of the past things and monuments, this photograph is indeed a wonderful sight to behold.
No significant changes can be observed in the complex now, based on these photographs except some of the following:
1. The poles around the complex are interesting. I have not confirmed whether they were for electricity purposes or not.
2. Interestingly, no single person is seen in the photograph. With the flood of devotees at this holy temple now-a-days at every time of the day, it is almost hard to imagine the complex without any person.
3. The modern Paśupati temple is with marble floor and marble attached even to the main temple. This was not so when the above photograph was clicked. How the temple area looked like before the marble was introduced is clear from this one.
4. Few structural changes can be observed, e.g. the Unmatta Bhairava temple (south of the Paśupati temple) and other small temples.
