Bratabandha Celebrated In Nepal

Members of the Newar community attend a religious ritual during the Bratabandha ceremony in Bhaktapur, Nepal. Bratabandha is a sacred Hindu and Buddhist ceremony that marks a boy's transition into manhood, involving rituals such as head-shaving. The term 'Bratabandha' derives from Sanskrit, meaning 'promise to be bound.' (Photo by Amit Machamasi/NurPhoto)
