Gathemangal Festival In Nepal
Children are carrying live hay straw as they are taking part in the immolation ceremony of demon deity Ghantakarna to veer off bad omens and ward off evil spirits in Bhaktapur, Nepal, on August 2, 2024. Falling on Trayodashi (third day) of the month of Shrawan (July/August), which is also known as Ghantakarna Chaturdasi, the festival is celebrated in memory of the mythical demon Ghantakarna's death.
