Nepali Festival Janai Purnima
On August 9, 2025, in Pokhara, Nepal, during the Janai Purnima festival, a Brahmin ties the protective thread (Raksha Sutra) on the hands of people at Mahendrapool. The ritual is believed to free individuals from debts to gods, sages, and ancestors, and to bless them with strength, intelligence, and brilliance. (Photo by Yunish Gurung/NurPhoto)
