Do we choose to use clean river or we choose to pollute the clean river?

Kathmandu, Kathmandu ValleyJun 2026

What we choose?

Looking at the picture itself, let's analyze why we choose to pollute the clean river.

Bagmati River is considered one of the divine rivers for Hindus in Nepal.

But looking at its condition right now it's polluted so much that you won't be able to breathe properly if you're sitting near. Being a person who visits Pashupatinath Temple once in a while I am really concerned about the environment that has been made up by humans themselves by practicing the unnecessary traditions as a religious need.

Throwing flowers bottles and other plastic items in the rivers, lighting an incense stick and unmanaged cremation makes me concerned about the environment and pollution that comes out from Pashupatinath Temple.

People must me more considerate while choosing the kind of environment they want to live and die into.

Taking one step forward to create change in our environment doesn't take much of efforts if it's done hand in hand.
