Devotees Launch Sacred Pardes Yatra During Swosthani Brata In Kathmandu
Nepali Hindu devotees undergo Swosthani Brata Katha rituals and stand on the embankments of the Bagmati River to prepare a ritualistic bath as they begin ''Pardes Yatra'' from Pashupati in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 18, 2026. Fasting devotees observe the month-long Swosthani Brata, undertaking their first Pardes Yatra by walking barefoot for kilometers to major Narayan and Shiva temples, including Bajrayogini, Pashupatinath, Shesha Narayan of Pharping, Panauti, and Changunarayan, while adhering to strict dietary and ritual practices.
