Swosthani Brata Ends In Nepal

A Nepali Hindu devotee is reciting verses from the ''Swosthani Brata Katha,'' a Hindu scripture, while performing rituals on the embankments of the sacred Salinadi River, a religious site on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 24, 2024. The final day of the Swosthani Brata Katha marks the end of a month-long observance, during which devotees follow a strict set of rules in the belief that their devotion and wishes will be fulfilled.
