Nepal's Ardous Month Long Swosthani Brata
A Nepali Hindu devotee is performing rituals alongside the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 9, 2024, as part of the month-long Swosthani Brata. Nepali Hindu devotees are undergoing arduous fasting and performing rituals based on the ''Swasthani Brata Katha,'' a Nepali Hindu scripture that worships Goddess Swasthani. It is believed that appeasing the Goddess grants the wishes of the devotees. The fasting devotees are traveling to various religious sites inside and outside the Kathmandu Valley.
