On October 11, 2025, the 202nd Anniversary Ceremony of the Creation of the Heroic Military College in Mexico takes place at the San Carlos Fortress in Perote, Veracruz. Ricardo Ahued Bardahuil, Secretary of Government of the State of Veracruz, and members of the Secretariat of National Defense lead the event. The founding of the Heroic Military College arises from the need for a faculty responsible for training military personnel. In 1821, when the Mexican Nation is established with the consummation of Independence, the existence of a permanent Army responsible for protecting and defending the integrity of the national territory is considered essential. According to information from Luis Fernando Molina Londono in the title ''Plundering, deportations and internments: the fate of the Germans during World War II,'' he narrates that the San Carlos Fortress in Perote functions as a detention camp for citizens of the Axis of World War II, who are interned for reasons of national security after Mexico enters the war in May 1942.

Participants dance and narrate stories while celebrating the late summer festival of ''Gaura,'' singing songs of faith and struggle in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 31, 2025. The festival, observed for five days and led primarily by women, has roots in ancient scriptures and centers on the worship of Goddess Gaura, also known as the Hindu goddess Parvati, and her union with Lord Shiva. The word Gaura refers to Gauri, another name for Goddess Parvati, and there are more than one thousand eight hundred names for her in total. Gaura Parva commemorates Parvati's penance to win Shiva as her husband. It marks the divine marriage between the two deities, an event mentioned in the Himavat Khanda, a segment of the Skanda Purana in Hinduism and several other Puranas. In these accounts, Parvati, the daughter of the Himalaya, worships Shiva through strict fasting. Her devotion eventually results in their union, which devotees continue to celebrate every year. The Manas Khanda section of the Skanda Purana places Gaura's origins in the Himalayan region, specifically among communities in Kumaon, Uttarakhand, India. The festival is most prominently celebrated in Nepal across the far-western districts of Doti, Baitadi, Dadeldhura, Darchula, Bajhang, Achham, and Bajura. It falls in August or September, depending on the lunar calendar.
