Janaipurne is one of the holy festivals for all the hindu devotees. 21st August 2013 was the day this year, This day is celebrated very well in various parts of Nepal. Kumbeshawor is one of the holy place in Patan where this festival take place. We have temple of goddess banglamukhi in kumbeshawor where this rituals are held.
During this day hindu devotees take bath in the holy pond near by the shiva temple inside the provision of Banglamukhi as the devotees clear their sins and pray to the lord shiva asking help during their period of poor health and sickness.
The very same day pandits changes their janai as they throw old one and wear new which have a great meaning, 'change of life'. We were rakshyabandhan in our wrist by the pandits who had completed those rituals. Rakshya means protect and bandhan means wristband which simplifies protectionband weared in a wrist, which has great meaning to all devotees to their trust n will that they have been protected form the evil things. Same way mostly towards terai regions we neplease have Rakhi where male person ties a wrist band by their sisters for the protection of evil sources and even when they are helpless.In Kathmandu valley the very same day people here takes a special dish call quati which is the mixture of various beans and seeds, which also do have a meaning where in these seasons people are busy for crops cultivation and so to regain energy back its been used as a hard material of diet. Our Nepal is rich on cultures so is Patan, Which brings patan to the day 2013.
