1 February 2026

A fasting Nepali Hindu devotee performs rituals reflected on a river in Bhaktapur, Nepal, on February 1, 2026, on the last day of the month-long arduous fasting ritual of Madhav Narayan. Devotees who take on this fast for a month do not eat foods cooked by others, which also exclude salt and other spices. They only eat rice, beaten rice, sugar, ghee, sugar candy, molasses, spinach from Patan, and peas among those considered sacred. The annual ritual of Madhav Narayan starts from the full moon day of Poush (Ninth Month of Lunar Calendar), initiating the recitation of the religious sermons.
