Nepali Hindu teenage and adolescent boys undergo the ritualistic tradition of Bratabandha at Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 7, 2025. Bratabandha is a pivotal coming-of-age Hindu ritual marking a boy's transition into adulthood within Nepali and broader South Asian culture. Also called the ''sacred thread ceremony,'' Bratabandha traces its origins back over 3,000 years, historically marking the end of childhood around age 12 and charging new adults with societal responsibilities. In Nepal, Bratabandha carries enhanced cultural weight amidst the dominant Hindu population. The extensive rituals connect present citizens to ancestral heritage, conferring identity within the ancient caste system through the wearing of the eponymous sacred ''Janai'' threads diagonally crossing the chest. Beyond just familial celebration, communities recognize the oaths of devotion to learning, faith, and dignity boys take, becoming grown men who lead households and perpetuate traditions into the future.
