KATHMANDU, DECEMBER 11

Hindu devotees scattering Satvij- a mix of 100 different kinds of food grains - and praying for the peace of departed souls of their relatives.

On the occasion, devotees take a holy bath early in the morning and circle the Pashupatinath Temple, or their nearest Shiva shrines, scattering Satvij.
