Kathmandu, April 30 (RSS): Mother's Day is being observed by
paying homage to mothers across the country today.
As per the tradition, off-springs
wake up early in the morning, take bath and worship their mothers by giving
presents and goodies to their mothers.
The day falls on the Matatirtha Aunsi. Those who do not have their mothers reach Matatirtha in Chandragiri Municipality to pay tribute to the departed souls of their mothers.
Devotees
flock to the Matatirtha pond, take a holy dip and observe the day by offering
alms to the poor. Likewise, the residents of Bhaktapur perform rituals at
Hanumanghat in memory of their departed mothers.
The fair (mela) that used to be
held at Matatirtha in commemorating the departed souls of mothers had been put
off for the last two years after the coronavirus pandemic. The municipality
sources said this year the fair would take place with the sharp decline in the
coronavirus infection rate.
Those who are far from home also take to social media to remember their mothers.
