Nepalese kids from Hindu school Bhagwat Sanyaas Aashram Gurukul taking rituals holy bath during Janai Purnima festival or Rakchhya Bandhan at Pashupatinath Temple, Kathmandu, Nepal on Sunday, August 26, 2018. During Janai Purnima or Rakchhya Bandhan people from Bhraman and Chhetri community change their “Janai” (a scared thread). Similarly people from other communities get tied a “Doro” (sacred colorful thread) around their wrest. It is assumed that this thread protect people from diseases and misfortune. People from Terai and India also celebrate this festival as Rakchhya Bandhan. Sisters tie attractive Rakhis on their brothers' wrists wishing them healthy and long life.
