Mothers Day In Nepal

A Nepali Hindu is 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 thronging the sacred pond that lies on the slope of hills surrounding Kathmandu to commemorate their bygone mothers. It is believed that making offerings and taking dips in the pond will give salvation to the souls of departed mothers. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
