Gathemangal Festival In Nepal
People are dragging the effigy of the demon deity Ghantakarna to set it on fire to veer off bad omens and ward off evil spirits in Bhaktapur, Nepal, on August 2, 2024. Falling on Trayodashi (the 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.
