KATHMANDU, JULY 18
In the month of Shrawan, women-both married and unmarried-adorn their hands with intricate Mehendi designs and wear colorful bangles as they worship Lord Shiva.
This sacred month brings a unique energy and enthusiasm among women, symbolizing devotion and celebration.
Mehendi, a paste made from the henna plant, is used to create beautiful, temporary patterns on the palms, adding to the festive spirit.
