Janai Purnima
Janai Purnima is a significant festival celebrated primarily in Nepal and among the Nepali community worldwide. It usually falls in August during the full moon and marks the end of the monsoon season. On this day, people change their sacred threads, known as Janai, which symbolize purity and spiritual renewal.
During Janai Purnima, many people also visit temples and perform rituals to honor their ancestors. The festival is closely associated with the Raksha Bandhan celebration, where sisters tie protective threads around their brothers' wrists, symbolizing love and protection. It is a time for family gatherings and cultural traditions.
