Nepal's Ardous Month Long Swosthani Brata

A Nepali Hindu devotee, who is undergoing the month-long Swosthani Brata, is climbing down the stairs of Pashupatinath Temple as she prepares to take a bath in the holy Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 9, 2024. Nepali Hindu devotees are undergoing arduous fasting and performing rituals of Swasthani, based on the ''Swasthani Brata Katha,'' a Nepali Hindu scripture. They worship Goddess Swasthani, who, when appeased, is believed to grant the wishes of the devotees. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
