Priests paint the idol of Seto Machhindranath (L) and White Tara (R) at Janabahal (Kel Tole) in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 1, 2026, in the days following the annual religious holy bath ritual. The painting work is part of preparations after the ritual cleansing, after which the deity is reinstalled at the temple through traditional rites. Seto Machhindranath, also revered as Avalokiteshwor or Karunamaya, is regarded as the god of rain and is worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists, who pray for timely rainfall to prevent drought during the rice cultivation season. The Seto Machhindranath jatra is scheduled to take place in the coming months.
