Happy Janai Purnima 🙏🇳🇵
Janai Purnima is a Hindu festival celebrated on the full moon day in the month of Bhadra according to the Hindu lunar calendar. On this day, Hindu men from the Brahmin and Chhetri communities take their annual ritual bath and change their “Janai” or sacred thread while people throng Shiva temples in different parts of the country.
This day is also celebrated as Raksha Bandhan with people from different communities tying “Doro”, a sacred thread, around their wrist to protect themselves from disease and fear.
