22 November 2025

Cadres of the Communist Party of Nepal- Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) dance as they take part in the show of power in Kathmandu, Nepal, on November 22, 2025. The show of power by CPN-UML comes ahead of the election of the House of Representatives called for March 5, 2026. Chairman of the UML and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is vocal against the dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR), insisting there is no alternative to the restoration of parliament. Oli says the HoR is dissolved unconstitutionally and must be revived. He describes the recommendation for dissolution as unauthorized and unconstitutional, calling it ''a regrettable step taken in violation of the constitution.''

Fasting Nepali Hindu women dance inside a temple after performing rituals in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 28, 2025, on the day of Rishi Panchami. Rishi Panchami marks the conclusion of the Teej festival. The festival is observed primarily by women who have reached menstruation age, as a day of purification and devotion. Fasting and worship are performed to honor the Sapta Rishis--the seven revered sages in Hindu mythology--with the belief that doing so absolves them of any sins believed to have been committed during their menstrual cycles. On this day, devotees wake up early and bathe in nearby rivers, ponds, streams, or lakes as part of the ritual. They cleanse their bodies using 365 stems of Apamarga (a medicinal plant), as well as cow dung, sacred soil, and ash. The fasting ritual involves a morning bath followed by prayer. Devotees then eat a single meal consisting of grains, wild fruits, kandamul (edible roots), vegetables, and guava before resuming their fast.
