Gathemangal Festival In Nepal
A child is carrying a live hay straw as he walks along with his father during the immolation ceremony of demon deity Ghantakarna to veer off the 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.
