Australian Assistant Foreign Minister Tim Watts, who is visiting Nepal, visited the Pashupati region. He has given this response after visiting Pashupati.

“Hinduism is Australia’s fastest growing religion.

The diversity of modern Australia connects us to every part of the world, including South Asia.

As Foreign Minister Penny Wong has said, when Australians look out to the world, we see ourselves reflected in it – just as the world can see itself reflected in us

Visiting the Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal, and experiencing its significance as a pilgrimage site for Hindus and others from across South Asia and beyond, highlighted this connection and was incredibly rewarding.”
