Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal is famous for a three feet high lingam called Chaturmukha (four faces). The faces look towards four different directions - east, west, north, and south. Each face represents different incarnations of Shiva, such as Sadjyota, Vamdeva, Tatpurusha, and Aghora. Pashupatinath is one of many names given to Shiva. Pashupati literally means the lord (nath) and protector (pati) of animals (pashu). It could be also interpreted as the master of all living beings in the universe.
Har Har Mahadev Jai PashupatiNath!
