Nepal's Ardous Month Long Swosthani Brata

Nepali Hindu devotees are sitting alongside the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 9, 2024, as they undergo the month-long Swosthani Brata. They are performing arduous fasting rituals based on the ''Swasthani Brata Katha,'' a Nepali Hindu scripture, to worship Goddess Swasthani, who is believed to grant the wishes of those who appease her. The fasting devotees are traveling to various religious sites inside and outside the Kathmandu Valley. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
