Bratabandha Celebrated In Nepal
Members of the Newar community perform a dance accompanied by traditional musical instruments following a Bratabandha ritual 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. 'Bratabandha' derives from Sanskrit, meaning 'promise to be bound.' (Photo by Amit Machamasi/NurPhoto)
