In the Garbhagriha, Padmanabha reclines on the serpent Anantha or Adi Sesha. The serpent has five hoods facing inwards, signifying contemplation. The Lord's right hand is placed over a Shiva lingam. Sridevi-Lakshmi, the Goddess of Prosperity and Bhudevi the Goddess of Earth, two consorts of Vishnu are by his side. Brahma emerges on a lotus, which emanates from the navel of the Lord. The deity is made from 12,008 saligramams. These saligrams are from the banks of the Gandaki River in Nepal, and to commemorate this certain rituals used to be performed at the Pashupatinath Temple. The deity of Padmanabha is covered with, "Katusarkara yogam", a special ayurvedic mix, which forms a plaster that keeps the deity clean.

Thoughts and Questions
Grains and vegetables can sumptuously feed a man and animals, and a fatty cow delivers enough milk to supply a man sumptuously with vigor and vitality.
If there is enough milk, enough grains, enough fruit, enough cotton, enough silk and enough jewels, then why do the people need cinemas, houses of prostitution, slaughterhouses, etc.?
What is the need of an artificial luxurious life of cinema, cars, radio, flesh and hotels?
Has this civilization produced anything but quarreling individually and nationally?
Has this civilization enhanced the cause of equality and fraternity by sending thousands of men into a hellish factory and the war fields at the whims of a particular man?
It is said that the cows used to moisten the pasturing land with milk because their milk bags were fatty and the animals were joyful.
Do they not require, therefore, proper protection for a joyful life by being fed with a sufficient quantity of grass in the field?
Why should men kill cows for their selfish purposes?
Why should man not be satisfied with grains, fruits and milk, which, combined together, can produce hundreds and thousands of palatable dishes.
Why are there slaughterhouses all over the world to kill innocent animals?
Mahārāja Parīkit, grandson of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, while touring his vast kingdom, saw a man attempting to kill a cow. The King at once arrested the butcher and chastised him sufficiently.
Should not a king or executive head protect the lives of the poor animals who are unable to defend themselves?
Is this humanity?
Are not the animals of a country citizens also?
Then why are they allowed to be butchered in organized slaughterhouses?
Are these the signs of equality, fraternity and nonviolence?

Jesus Cleanses the Temple
John 2:14-16
English Standard Version
14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.” (slaughterhouse)
Mark 11:15-18
English Standard Version
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
