On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan and Janai Purnima, observed on the full moon day of the bright fortnight of the Nepali month of Shrawan, young students at Pashupatiâ€⠢s Veda Vidyashram began their religious rituals and fasting early in the morning after taking a bath...On this day, those who wear the sacred thread traditionally change their Janai, also known as Yagyopavit. For this, they shave their heads the previous day and observe a fast by eating only one meal, maintaining purity. Kathmandu Nepal - ZUMAa308 20260828_znp_a308_009
