KATHMANDU: Devotees observing the month-long Swasthani fast have taken a holy bath at the Triveni River in Panauti, Kavre, today.
The ritual bath marks a key part of the Swasthani Brata, which begins on the full moon day of Poush Shukla and continues until the full moon of Magh Shukla. As part of the religious journey, devotees performed ritual bathing at Triveni and offered prayers to Madhav Narayan.
According to religious belief, the Swasthani fast remains incomplete without worshipping Madhav Narayan. Devotees believe that observing the fast with devotion brings peace, happiness, and prosperity.
Swasthani Brata is widely observed across Nepal, particularly by women, and holds deep cultural and religious significance in the Hindu tradition.
