Gathemangal Festival In Nepal

An elderly man is carrying live hay straw as he takes part in the immolation ceremony of the demon deity Ghantakarna to ward off bad omens and 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.
