Ramada by Wyndham Itahari has announced a special support package for devotees participating in the Bol Bam Yatra during the holy month of Shrawan. The annual pilgrimage attracts thousands of devotees who collect holy water from the Saptakoshi River at Barahakshetra and Chatara, and then walk to Pindeshwor Mahadev Temple in Dharan to offer it to Lord Shiva through the ritual of Jalabhishek. The initiative aims to support devotees undertaking the spiritually significant pilgrimage while also promoting Eastern Nepal as a destination rich in religious, cultural, and natural attractions.
Bol Bam Yatra Reflects Deep Religious Faith
The Bol Bam Yatra is one of the major religious pilgrimages observed during the month of Shrawan. Devotees begin their journey from Barahakshetra, where they collect holy water from the Saptakoshi River before continuing on foot to Pindeshwor Mahadev Temple in Dharan. The holy water is then offered to Lord Shiva as part of the Jalabhishek ritual.
According to religious belief, the Shiva Linga at Pindeshwor Mahadev Temple emerged from the divine essence of Amrit following the celestial battle between the Devas and Asuras. This religious belief has made Pindeshwor Mahadev Temple one of the most revered Shiva shrines in Eastern Nepal and a major pilgrimage destination during Shrawan.
Special Stay Package Announced for Pilgrims
Under the special initiative, Ramada by Wyndham Itahari is offering a one-night stay in a deluxe room along with buffet breakfast, a 15 percent discount on additional dining, and access to the hotel’s swimming pool and fitness centre. The package is priced at NPR 6,500 for a single stay and NPR 7,500 for a couple’s stay, with applicable taxes excluded from the stated rates.
The package has been introduced to provide pilgrims and visitors with a comfortable stay during their journey while encouraging them to explore the religious and cultural attractions of Eastern Nepal.
