Sprinkling Sacred Water And Lighting Lamps On Body, Nepali Devotees Mark Month Long Madhav Narayan Fast In Nepal
A Nepali Hindu devotee undergoing the annual Madhav Narayan fast, worships as Hindu God Shiva and sprinkles sacred water on the bystanding devotees while taking part in the procession of touring around the town of Thecho in Lalitpur, Nepal, on January 30, 2026. During the procession, which is also a part of the month-long Madhav Narayan festival, devotees tour around the city blowing conches and sprinkle sacred water on the bystanding devotees. The annual Madhav Narayan festival begins from the full moon of Poush, the ninth month in the Nepali calendar. The devotees remain on fast for the entire month and abide by strict disciplinary rules and regulations. The devotees roll on the ground as a part of the ritual. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
