Markets In Nepal Set Abuzz With Arrival Of Sacred Month Of Shrawan
A Nepali woman selects beads from a local market with the arrival of Shrawan, the sacred month for Hindus living in Nepal and India, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 16, 2025. Tri-colored beads (red, green, and yellow), mehendi, and filings over the palms and wrists mark the attire of women in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, at the start of Shrawan. According to Hindu belief, the fourth month on the Lunar Calendar is devoted to Lord Shiva. Married and unmarried females fast on Mondays during this month, wearing sacred clothes. Married women fast for the longer life of their husbands, while unmarried women pray to Lord Shiva for a suitable match. With the start of Shrawan, the sales of beads, mehendi, and filings usually increase. The beads, which are stitched into threads, are brought from India, Pakistan, China, and other countries. The younger generations in Nepal are now fascinated by mehendi and filings, which they consider stylish. There is also another reason for painting palms with mehendi: ''the test of love level of future husband.'' (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto) -
