Kathmandu, April 26
Today is Matatirtha Aunshi (also called Aamako Mukh Herne Din), a special day dedicated to Mothers, a day when Hindus worship mothers by conducting different rituals.
On this day, people gather at Matatirtha, on the outskirts of Kathmandu close to Thankot, to pay homage to mothers, who have left this world.
Likewise, sons and daughters visit their mothers and gift various delicacies and garments among others.
Hundreds of people visit the holy site on this day every year.
