Court issues stay order after President unveils golden Jalahari at Pashupati temple

Two petitions were filed at the Supreme Court against the government’s decision to release a large sum of money from the state coffers to the temple.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a stay order on the government’s decision to install a golden Jalahari at Pashupatinath temple, hours after President Bidya Devi Bhandari had already unveiled the 108kg golden structure.
