A traditional Jhankri dance was showcased at Banglamukhi Temple on Saturday to mark Janai Purnima. On this day, people receive Raksha Bandhan, which is tied around their wrist, and those who wear janai (sacred thread) change it as well.
Each year, a large number of devotees visit Kumbheshwar in Banglamukhi on the occasion.
Locals from Patan, Chapagaun, Harisiddhi, Thaiba, Dhapakhel, Sunakothi, Bungamati, Khokana, Godawari, and other parts of the Valley flock to the site, turning the day into a festive gathering.
