Halesi Mahadev is a very popular temple as the Pashupatinath of eastern Nepal. It's situated in the Khotang district, 3,100 ft. – 4,734 ft. above sea level. It is south-west of Mount Everest. It is a venerated site of Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage. Halesi Mahadev, a feet Shiva Linga, enshrines the cave. To the immediate north of this Shiva Linga, there are two pillars, which stand very close to each other, making a narrow pass. It is commonly believed that the sinners cannot pass through this narrow passage, and a confession only enables them to pass through. Thousands of devotees from far and near come here to offer worship to Mahadev (Lord Shiva) as it is believed this Halesi Mahadev blesses children and the poor with prosperity and the virtuous with knowledge and wisdom.
