People set fire to the effigy of ''Ghantakarna'' at a crossroad while celebrating ''Gathemangal'' in Bhaktapur, Nepal, on July 23, 2025. This festival, which falls on Trayodashi (the third day) of the month of Shrawan (July/August), is also known as Ghantakarna Chaturdasi and is celebrated in memory of the mythical demon Ghantakarna's death. According to legends, the demon Ghantakarna terrorizes villagers by stealing children and women from the village and demands money and other gifts as ransom for their release. His body is painted in red, blue, and black, and he wears a pair of bells on his ears. He looks very scary, and every time he moves, the bells jingle. He gets his name from the bells on his ears, with Ghanta meaning 'bell' and Karna meaning 'ears'. The fear of this dreadful monster keeps people inside their homes most of the time. Even during the planting season, they do not dare to leave their homes. However, one day, a large number of frogs come to the village and begin to croak near Ghantakarna's place. He becomes furious, but the frogs do not stop. They croak even louder, and when he tries to catch them, they jump into the water. He also jumps into the water without realizing that it is a swamp and soon starts to drown. The frogs swarm around his head, and he drowns to death. In this way, the frogs save the village and the villagers from the demon. Effigies built at the turnings and roadways of the locality are later dragged and burnt to ashes in areas far from residential areas, mostly at crossroads. This festival is also celebrated as a symbol of cleanliness, even though the garbage inside and outside the house is cleaned and disposed of in a systematic manner. This festival is celebrated by cleaning the garbage, calling it a ghost to get rid of it, as it does not pay attention to sanitation during the planting period, and various insects cause grief at this time.

Gaurishankar Ram Chamar, an Indian citizen injured in a bomb blast in Rautahat in 2008, holds a press conference in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 6, 2025, following the acquittal of Nepali Congress leader Mohammad Aftab Alam, the main accused behind the blast. Chamar hails from Sitamarhi in Bihar. Chamar is injured when a bomb kept at Alam's house to allegedly rig the Constituent Assembly election explodes on April 9, 2008. On May 28, the Birgunj bench of Janakpur High Court acquits Alam and three others. Justices Khusi Prasad Tharu and Arjun Mahrjan rule that there is no evidence to confirm whether a blast even occurs. During the press conference, Chamar says, ''That day, I go to the house to collect money. Someone tells me to take the money and leave. I have just reached the door when the bomb explodes. When the fire starts, I run. There is water behind the house; I pour it on myself and flee again.'' Chamar claims that he is unaware of what happens afterward and that he regains consciousness in Sitamarhi. He receives treatment at a hospital there, incurring expenses of INR 350,000. Chamar claims that when he goes to the police office to give a statement, Alam's men threaten his mother, saying her son is gone and wouldn't survive long. Chamar also files a complaint in connection with the incident, but the high court dismisses his complaint and statement as evidence. The court notes that the hospital prescription indicates injuries from a stove explosion, not a bomb blast.

Gaurishankar Ram Chamar, an Indian citizen injured in a bomb blast in Rautahat in 2008, holds a press conference in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 6, 2025, following the acquittal of Nepali Congress leader Mohammad Aftab Alam, the main accused behind the blast. Chamar hails from Sitamarhi in Bihar. Chamar is injured when a bomb kept at Alam's house to allegedly rig the Constituent Assembly election explodes on April 9, 2008. On May 28, the Birgunj bench of Janakpur High Court acquits Alam and three others. Justices Khusi Prasad Tharu and Arjun Mahrjan rule that there is no evidence to confirm whether a blast even occurs. During the press conference, Chamar says, ''That day, I go to the house to collect money. Someone tells me to take the money and leave. I have just reached the door when the bomb explodes. When the fire starts, I run. There is water behind the house; I pour it on myself and flee again.'' Chamar claims that he is unaware of what happens afterward and that he regains consciousness in Sitamarhi. He receives treatment at a hospital there, incurring expenses of INR 350,000. Chamar claims that when he goes to the police office to give a statement, Alam's men threaten his mother, saying her son is gone and wouldn't survive long. Chamar also files a complaint in connection with the incident, but the high court dismisses his complaint and statement as evidence. The court notes that the hospital prescription indicates injuries from a stove explosion, not a bomb blast.
