Janai Purnima A Sacred Thread Festival In Nepal
An old man offering rituals after changing sacred colorful thread during Janai Purnima festival or Rakchhya Bandhan at Pashupatinath Temple, Kathmandu, Nepal on Monday, August 03, 2020. During Janai Purnima or Rakchhya Bandhan people from Bhraman and Chhetri community change their “Janai” (a scared thread). Similarly people from other communities get tied a “Doro” (sacred colorful thread) around their wrest. It is assumed that this thread protect people from diseases and misfortune. People from Terai and India also celebrate this festival as Rakchhya Bandhan. Sisters tie attractive Rakhis on their brothers' wrists wishing them healthy and long life.
