Traditional Janai Dhaga for Janai Purnima

This photograph captures the essence of the Traditional Janai, a sacred thread worn by Hindu pilgrims on Janai Purnima, an important religious festival in Nepal. The Janai symbolizes purity, spiritual commitment, and protection, and is especially significant for Hindu men who undergo the sacred thread ceremony (Bratabandha). On this auspicious day, devotees renew their Janai and tie a Rakshya Bandhan thread on their wrist as a blessing for protection and good fortune.
