Nepali Hindu revelers smear vermillion powder as they take part in the annual Sindoor Jatra festival in Thimi, Nepal, on April 15, 2025. The annual festival of Sindoor Jatra paints the town with Sindoor, which is observed on the 2nd of Baisakh, the first month of the year according to the Lunar calendar. Nepal enters the new year 2082 on Monday. A total of 32 ceremonial palanquins are brought to the temple square by devotees completely soaked in Sindoor, accompanied by singing and dancing troupes.
