"burnt to death"

23 July 2025

Men prepare clothing for the effigy of ''Ghantakarna'' while marking 'Gathemangal' in Bhaktapur, Nepal, on July 23, 2025. Falling on Trayodashi (the third day) of the month of Shrawan (July/August), which is also known as Ghantakarna Chaturdasi, this festival 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 the 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 burned to ashes in areas that lie far from the residential areas, mostly at the 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.

Policemen speak to a protester. People gather in Toulouse, France, on June 11, 2025, in support of the 'Madleen' flotilla after its illegal boarding by Israeli forces in international waters. Gatherers are pushed by police, who use tear gas canisters and pepper spray. Some members of the crew are still held in jail in Israel. The 'Madleen' aims to break the humanitarian blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza for nearly three months. On board are Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, Reva Viard, and Rima Hassan, an MP at the European Parliament. The ship carries humanitarian aid for Gaza. A man decides to begin a hunger strike until all captives of the 'Madleen' are freed and Israel ceases its blockade. Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, the Gaza Strip has been leveled and decimated by Israel: more than 55,000 are killed, and 100,000 are injured. The U.N. estimates that up to 2 million people in the Gaza Strip--or more than 85% of the population--are forced to flee Israel's bombing campaign and that all people in Gaza face starvation. Civilians bear the brunt of Israeli killings.
