Story of A Devotee ​
PhotoStory by UdhabKc
This story follows one devotee from Madhav Narayan Festival who performs various religious activities during this festival. The Madhav Narayan festival is a month long festival where Nepalese worship goddess Swasthini and Lord Shiva. The women pray for a good husband and the others for their longevity.
During the event, devotees wake up early in the morning, most likely before sunrise, change their regular cloths to muslin dhoti. It's common to burn hey to warm their bodies before taking a holy bath in the nearby river.
After the bath, they roll their way over a white path around the city, commonly known as "Madulyau", sometimes stopping at points where hey-fires are made to keep them warm. Finally they come back to the holy river, chanting mantras and blowing conch shells, also known as "Silamantulegu".
