Kids dressed in cultural attire participate in a parade during the Gaijatra festival, or Festival of Cows, in Kathmandu, Nepal on August 29, 2026. The festival is observed to honour cows and commemorate departed loved ones, with prayers for their salvation and peace. This years Gaijatra is being observed amid national grief over the devastating Rasuwa floods, which claimed lives and left many Nepalis and foreign nationals missing.
