Hundreds of devotees gathered on the embankment of the Bagmati River beside Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu to change their "Janai" and tie the "Rakshabandhan" on their wrists, marking the festival of Janai Purnima. This festival, held annually on Shrawan Shukla Purnima, coincides this year with the Janaipurnima and Rishi Tarpani festivals.
Participants change their Janai (sacred thread) during the celebration and tie Rakshyabandhan (Raksha Bandhan) threads around their wrists. Devotees of Vedic Sanatan Dharma flocked to the river, taking ceremonial dips and securing the Rakshasutra (sacred thread) with their Guru’s guidance.
Following traditional Vedic practices, Brahmin priests conducted chants, performed penance, and carried out rituals while tying the Rakshasutra on devotees’ wrists. It is commonly believed that receiving the Janai and Rakshasutra when properly chanted and blessed by the priest, provides spiritual protection against negative influences.
