Mothers Day In Nepal

A Nepali Hindu is taking a bath in a sacred pond at Matatirtha on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on Mother's Day, locally known as Mata Tirtha Aunsi, on May 8, 2023. Sons and daughters are flocking to the sacred pond, which is situated on the slope of hills surrounding Kathmandu, to commemorate their deceased mothers. They believe that making offerings and taking dips in the pond will bring salvation to the souls of their departed mothers. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
