Nepal's Ardous Month Long Swosthani Brata
Nepali Hindu devotees are undergoing a month-long Swosthani Brata and are seen collecting water from the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 9, 2024. 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)
