Janai Purnima, celebrated with vibrant rituals in Nepal, marks the renewal of the sacred thread worn by Hindu men. This festival coincides with Raksha Bandhan, symbolising the bond between siblings. Enthusiasts trek to Gosainkunda, a sacred Himalayan lake, for purification. Traditionally, delicious kwati, a sprouted bean soup, is savoured on this day.
