Mothers Day In Nepal

Nepali Hindus are offering prayers on the premises of a sacred pond, Matatirtha, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, on Mother's Day, locally known as Mata Tirtha Aunsi. Sons and daughters are flocking to the sacred pond that lies on the slope of hills surrounding Kathmandu to commemorate their departed mothers. They believe that making offerings and taking dips in the pond will grant salvation to the souls of their departed mothers. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
