Mothers Day In Nepal
A Nepali Hindu is taking a bath in a sacred pond, Matatirtha, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, on Mother's Day, locally known as Mata Tirtha Aunsi, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 8, 2023. Sons and daughters are flocking to the sacred pond that lies 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)
