  • From Ritualistic Bathe To Changing The Sacred Thread Worn Across Body And Wrist, Nepal Observes Janai Purnima- Festival Of Threads

    From Ritualistic Bathe To Changing The Sacred Thread Worn Across Body And Wrist, Nepal Observes Janai Purnima- Festival Of Threads
    A Nepali Hindu devotee ties Rakshabandhan, a sacred thread worn across the wrist, on the embankments of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 9, 2025, while marking the festival of Janai Purnima. Janai Purnima is the festival of threads with ritualistic bathing and tying the sacred thread ''Rakshya Bandhan'' on the wrist and ''Janai'' across the body by Hindu devotees. According to the scriptures, the sacred thread worn across the body of Hindu devotees is believed to emerge from the Yagya, a sacrificial rite or performance of duty. A person who wears this sacred thread is full of energy, and this thread has two parts, each containing three threads: the first is Bramha, the second is Bishnu, and the third is Lord Shiva. These are symbols of knowledge, meditation, and power. On the other side is nature, which is also considered the female companions of males: Saraswati of Bramha, Laxmi of Bishnu, and Parbati of Shiva. Those who do not wear Janai reach the nearby religious site and receive the 'Raksha Bandhan' thread, which is tied around the wrist as an amulet. The yellow thread is purified through the chanting of mantras by Brahmin priests as a symbol of protection from fear and disease. This sacred thread is made through the combination of 27 different types of threads. In astrology, there are 27 types of constellations, and the name of every human being is believed to be recorded in these constellations. This thread is tied around the wrist following the folklore about King Bali. Bali earns more virtue, which threatens the throne of King Indra. Then, after Bramha ties the thread around the wrist, it is followed since then in remembrance of Lord Bali. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
