Kathmandu. Preparations for this year's Mahashivratri festival have been completed. Pashupati area has been cleaned since dyeing. There has been a large presence of monks and saints. The police have also made plans for crowd management on the occasion of the festival. The Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office has prepared a security plan to ensure the safety and orderliness of the traffic in the Pashupatinath area on the occasion of the Mahashivratri festival.

Traffic has been managed to facilitate the movement and darshan of devotees and pilgrims coming to the Pashupati area. Parking has been arranged at certain places for those who come to visit Pashupati.
