Gathemangal Festival In Nepal
A man is swinging his child over the burning effigy of the demon deity Ghantakarna 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.
