Mha Puja Festival In Nepal
A person prepares a colorful mandap for the Mha Puja festival, a ritual of self-worship celebrated by the Newar community in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 22, 2025. Mha Puja, observed on the fourth day of the Tihar festival and the New Year according to the Nepal Sambat calendar, is performed to purify and empower the self, seeking prosperity, longevity, and spiritual well-being. During the ritual, each family member sits before an intricately made mandap -- a sacred design created on the floor using lentils, rice flour, flowers, and oil lamps -- symbolizing the soul and inner energy of the individual.
