Nepali Hindu revelers carry the palanquin hoisting Nepali Hindu deities, parading it through the alleyways of Thimi, Nepal, on April 15, 2025, during the annual Sindoor Jatra festival. 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.
