Bhaktapur Observes Panchadan, The Festival Of Five Summer Gifts
Dipankar Buddha is paraded through the alleyways of Bhaktapur, Nepal, on August 21, 2025, observing the Panchadan, the festival of five summer gifts. Observed annually on Triodashi, two days prior to the Kushe Aunsi or Father's Day according to the lunar calendar, this Buddhist festival sees Dipankar Buddha dancing and touring around the city. In this Buddhist festival, gifts are made by the laity to the monks. Buddhist antiques are displayed, and gigantic effigies of Dipankar are paraded around the town. Since monastic Buddhism has long been extinct in Nepal, the receivers of the gifts today are the Buddhist priests, the Shakyas, and the Vajracharyas, who go begging alms to the houses of their clients. However, the main highlight of the festival is the giving away of five elements: wheat grains, rice grains, salt, money, and fruit.

This image, taken by NASA's Landsat 8 satellite on July 3, 2022, details a 22-year downward trend of Lake Mead's water levels, which now stand at their lowest since April 1937, when the reservoir was filled with water for the first time. As of July 18, 2022, Lake Mead was filled to just 27 percent of capacity. The largest reservoir in the United States supplies water to millions of people across seven states, tribal lands, and northern Mexico. It now also provides a stark illustration of climate change and a long-term drought that may be the worst in the U.S. West in 12 centuries.

The detailed images below include a view from Landsat 8 taken on July 8, 2021 (middle). The light-colored fringes along the shorelines of Lake Mead in 2021 and 2022 are mineralized areas of the lakeshore that were formerly underwater when the reservoir was filled closer to capacity. The phenomenon is often referred to as a "bathtub ring." As of July 18, 2022, Lake Mead was filled to just 27 percent of capacity. The largest reservoir in the United States supplies water to millions of people across seven states, tribal lands, and northern Mexico. It now also provides a stark illustration of climate change and a long-term drought that may be the worst in the U.S. West in 12 centuries.
