Devotees thronged the Mahadev Temple premises in Gokarnershwar, Kathmandu on Saturday on the occasion of Kushe Aunsi.

According to the Bikram Sambat calendar, on the day of Bhadra Krishna Aunsi, thousands of devotees visit the Gokarneshwar Mahadev temple in respect of their fathers and offer prayers.

Kushe Aunsi is also observed as “Buwa Ko Mukh Herne Din”, or father’s day, and people offer gifts to their fathers.

It is customary for those who do not have fathers to gather at the temple and offer pinda on this day.
