Devotees gathered at the Pashupatinath temple area in Kathmandu on the final day of Shodasha Shraddha to remember their deceased ancestors and perform religious rites, including shraddha, tarpan and pindadaan.
Crowds were seen from early morning along the banks of the Bagmati River, praying for the eternal peace of their forefathers' souls.
Rites to honour departed ancestors
According to Hindu religious tradition, shraddha rites are performed during the sixteen-day Pitri Paksha to honour and remember departed ancestors. The final day of Shodasha Shraddha brings the observance to a close.
