Naag Panchami Observed In Nepal
A Nepali Hindu devotee performs rituals while worshipping the serpent deity on the day of Naag Panchami at Naag Pokhari in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 29, 2025. The fifth day of the bright half-moon of the Shrawan month, according to the lunar calendar, is regarded as Naag Panchami, a day dedicated to serpent deities. People flock to nearby ponds and Naag temples to worship the serpentine deity, marking the start of the festive season in the Himalayan nation. The festival of Naag Panchami is also regarded as a festival to strengthen the bond between humans and nature. On this particular day, farmers do not dig or plough the field; instead, they worship the deity by making idols from the mud of their fields. The serpentine deity is also regarded as the god of water and rain, and according to religious belief, the house where the Naag deity resides is bestowed with wealth and prosperity. The age-old tradition of observing the festival is believed to have started when a farmer in ancient times ploughed the field on the day of Naag Panchami and a family of serpents was killed. The serpent then promised not to spare any of the family members of that farmer after his entire family was killed. The farmer had only a daughter who was married off; the serpent then went to the girl's house to take revenge and saw the daughter worshipping the serpent deity. The snake, who lost its family, returned, blessing the girl. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto) -

She was just a normal kid, running around with her friends and having fun dancing - until a devastating diagnosis.
When Emma Norman was six her parents noticed her squinting at the TV but they didn’t think too much of it.
However, Emma, now 33, would soon find out that she had Cone Rod Dystrophy and would eventually go blind.
Emma, a Pilates and meditation breathwork instructor from London, living in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, believes the stereotypes around blindness made accepting her diagnosis even harder — and she wants to challenge outdated ideas around sight loss.
“Life before my diagnosis felt pretty normal,” she remembers.
“I was just like any other kid—running around with friends, dancing around to my favourite TV shows and records. I even skipped crawling and went straight to walking, and I was reading and talking from a very young age, so nobody noticed anything unusual.
“To me, everything seemed fine because that was just my normal. It wasn’t until my parents started picking up on little things—like me squinting at the TV or struggling to see animals at the zoo when they pointed them out—that they became curious.
“At first, they thought I was just being cheeky, pretending not to see things, but when I kept squinting at the TV, they decided to take me to the optician. They assumed I was probably just short-sighted and needed glasses.
“In my early years at school, I only needed to sit closer to the board, but beyond that, I didn’t notice anything different. I guess what I saw—how I saw—was just my normal.
“When I first started squinting, my parents thought I probably just needed glasses for short-sightedness, like the other kids in my class.
“The optician gave me my first pair of multi-coloured glasses in the meantime while they arranged for the doctors to refer me to Moorfields Eye Hospital, as they could tell something more was going on.

Emma hat 'nen Blindenhund: Emma Norman aus Biggleswade hat die ZSD Augenerkrankung und ist auf ihren Assistenzhund Archie angewiesen
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Deborah Cicurel
She was just a normal kid, running around with her friends and having fun dancing - until a devastating diagnosis.
When Emma Norman was six her parents noticed her squinting at the TV but they didn’t think too much of it.
However, Emma, now 33, would soon find out that she had Cone Rod Dystrophy and would eventually go blind.
Emma, a Pilates and meditation breathwork instructor from London, living in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, believes the stereotypes around blindness made accepting her diagnosis even harder — and she wants to challenge outdated ideas around sight loss.
“Life before my diagnosis felt pretty normal,” she remembers.

PETA protest outside Hermes, 155 New Bond Street, London, UK.
26th July 2023
Australian activist Tash Peterson dumps ‘Guts’ outside Hermes in crusade against crocodile skin
Sporting a "crocodile" suit and matching boots, famed vegan activist Tash Peterson drenched in "blood" and "guts" from a mock croc bag in front of London’s flagship Hermès store, in a push for the luxury retailer to drop reptile skins.
Footage of farms owned by Hermes and its suppliers revealed that crocodiles are confined to cramped cages and small concrete pits filled with filthy water before they are electrocuted, dragged, and mutilated - some while still conscious.
The action follows the recent passing of Jane Birkin, who once asked for her name to be removed from Hermès’ crocodile-skin Birkin bag due to concerns over cruelty to animals. Her death also prompted PETA to send an urgent letter to Hermès urging the brand to retire the handbag and adopt a policy prohibiting the use of exotic animal skins so that no more wildlife is killed in her name.
Peterson’s home country, Australia, is the world’s main producer of saltwater crocodile skin, exporting 90% of it internationally. Hermès already owns the majority of the crocodile farms in the Northern Territory, yet it is planning to expand its operations further by building Australia’s biggest crocodile farm to date and imprisoning up to 50,000 animals there at a time.
