Nepalese Hindu women fill vessels with
water from the Bagmati River, which
they consider holy, to offer prayers during
the Madhav Narayan festival. During this
month-long festival, devotees recite Holy
Scriptures dedicated to Hindu goddess
Swasthani and Hindu god Lord Shiva.
Unmarried women pray to get a good
husband while those married pray for the
longevity of their husbands by observing
a month-long fast during the festival.
