              From Ritualistic Bath To Tying The Sacred Thread Nepal Observes Janai Purnima

              A Nepali Hindu devotee is performing rituals on the day of Janai Purnima on the embankments of Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 19, 2024. The festival of Janai Purnima is being observed annually on Shrawan Shukla Purnima, coinciding this year with the Janaipurnima and Rishi Tarpani festivals. Celebrated nationwide, these events are featuring the wearing of the Janai (sacred thread) and Raakhi (Rakshabandhan). Hundreds of adherents of Vedic Sanatan Dharma are thronging the Bagmati embankment, taking dips, and tying the Rakshasutra (sacred thread) with the guidance of their Guru. Brahmin priests, adhering to the Vedic traditions, are performing chants, penance, and worship while tying the Rakshasutra on the right wrist of the devotee. It is a widely held belief that wearing the Janai and Rakshasutra, properly chanted and blessed by the priest, offers protection from negative influences. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
