KATHMANDU: A month-long festival will commence in Swayambhu today, with all preparations now complete.
The Swayambhu Management and Conservation Mahasamiti has expected a higher turnout of devotees this year, following the recent reconstruction of monuments at the historic site.
Ashok Buddhacharya, the Mahasamiti’s general secretary, stated that makeshift tent shops have been removed for the convenience of visitors.
The Committee has anticipated that around 500,000 people from both home and abroad will attend the event.
