During Haritalika Teej in 2026, worshippers formed multiple physical queues at Kathmandu's Pashupatinath Temple. Local reporting described a plan for five queues outside the temple and eight more inside, with all four gates opening from 3 a.m. A separate local photo report documented women waiting along a route leading to the north-facing gate.
The distinctive feature was not one long line but a set of flows divided according to the sanctuary's gates and interior routes. As worshippers in red clothing waited to pray and receive darshan, festival devotion met the practical work of moving a very large crowd safely through sacred space.
