Nepalese Hindu worshippers performed rituals during Matatirtha Aunshi or Mother’s Day at Matatirtha Temple Kathmandu, Nepal. On this day, Nepalese Hindus pronounce their affection for their deceased mothers by performing the holy bathing ritual.

The devotees come from across the country to bathe, offer prayers and leave offerings at the Matathirtha Temple during the event, which honours mothers who have passed away.
