A Nepali customer checks Rakhi at a local marketplace in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 7, 2025, ahead of the festival of Janai Purnima, also known as the festival of threads. The festival of Janai Purnima is observed annually on Shrawan Shukla Purnima. Celebrated nationwide, these events feature the wearing of the Janai (sacred thread), Rakshabandhan, and Raakhi. Hundreds of adherents of Vedic Sanatan Dharma throng sacred rivers, take dips, and tie the Rakshasutra (sacred thread) with the guidance of their Guru. Brahmin priests, adhering to the Vedic traditions, perform chants, penance, and worship while tying the Rakshasutra on the right wrist of the devotee. It is a widely held belief that wearing the Janai and Rakshasutra, properly chanted and blessed by the priest, offers protection from negative influences.
