Some 300 solar-powered street lamps have been installed around road sections surrounding the Pashupatinath temple.
The Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT) installed the bulbs with the assistance of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) to illuminate the roads surrounding the temple premises.
Although the temple and the Ghat areas get a regular supply of power from the NEA, other adjacent areas enfulg in darkness during the load shedding hours.
The installation of the solar bulbs means that the surrounding areas of Tilganga, Pingalasthan, Gaushala, Bhimeshower Ghat, Kailash and Guheshowri will dazzle even during the load shedding hours, said Dr Govinda Tondon, the member-secretary of PADT. Dr. Tondon added that a special software will automatically operate the solar bulbs, turning them on during the night and turning them off in the morning.
The recently installed bulbs, however, will be brought into operation on Shivarattri, which falls on February 17. RSS
