CM Mohan Yadav inaugurates 1st phase of 'Pashupatinath Lok' in MP's Mandsaur

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav inaugurates the Rs 25 crore Pashupatinath Lok, a grand religious corridor on the Shivna river banks in Mandsaur.

"Pashupatinath Lok is a major centre of faith in Mandsaur and has now been developed in a more grand and attractive form. - Chief Minister Mohan Yadav"

Mandsaur, Jan 29

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav formally inaugurated the newly constructed 'Pashupatinath Lok' at the Ashtamukhi Lord Pashupatinath Temple complex in Mandsaur during a ceremonial event on Thursday, government officials said.

The grand religious corridor has been built on the banks of the Sivna river at a cost of Rs 25 crore.

Inspired by Mahakal Lok, it features statues of Lord Shiva's family and a large 'Damru' to attract devotees.

The complex includes a 22-foot-tall 'Trinetra' (adorned with Rudraksha beads), an amphitheatre, a waiting area, and an attractive entrance gate.

The corridor also has gardens, a pond, devotional shops and a restaurant for visitors.

Keeping the convenience of devotees in mind, an open-air theatre has been developed at Pashupatinath Lok for cultural and theatrical performances.

A waiting hall has been arranged to avoid inconvenience during large gatherings, along with a first-aid room for emergencies.

After performing the necessary rituals and prayers, the Chief Minister inspected the Pashupatinath Lok and viewed the cultural artifacts installed there.

Chief Minister Yadav said that he has inaugurated the first phase of the project, and the fund for the second phase of the development will be allocated soon.

He also viewed a picture exhibition in the temple campus showcasing the temple's past and present condition.

On this occasion, the Chief Minister also unveiled the 22-feet-high Trinetra Rudrakani, which has emerged as a major attraction.

The Rudraksha installed at its centre symbolises the divine 'Trinetra' (third eye) form of Lord Shiva.

"Pashupatinath Lok is a major centre of faith in Mandsaur and has now been developed in a more grand and attractive form. Situated along the flowing waters of the Shivna River, the Lok has become more appealing and serene than before. Four entrance gates have been constructed to ensure the smooth movement of devotees," Chief Minister Yadav said.

Facilities such as a satsang hall, gardens, Shiv Stambh, mural wall, selfie point and well-planned pathways have also been developed at the Shri Pashupatinath Lok, giving the entire complex the form of a well-organised pilgrimage destination.

Rs 25 crore is a lot of money. While developing religious sites is good, I hope the second phase funds are also allocated for basic amenities in the surrounding areas of Mandsaur. Development should be balanced.

The 22-foot Trinetra Rudrakani sounds magnificent! Can't wait to visit with my family. Adding gardens, a pond, and a proper pathway makes it perfect for a spiritual day out. Good initiative by the MP government.

As someone interested in Indian culture, this sounds like a beautifully planned project. The amphitheatre for cultural performances is a great touch—it preserves and promotes local arts alongside devotion.

Inspired by Mahakal Lok in Ujjain? That corridor is world-class. If Pashupatinath Lok is even half as good, it will boost tourism in Mandsaur significantly. Hope they maintain it well.

The selfie point mention made me smile 😄. It's a sign of the times, but honestly, if it gets more young people to visit and appreciate our heritage, why not? Overall, a very thoughtful development.
