People are setting the effigy of the demon deity Ghantakarna on fire after dragging it down to a crossroad in Bhaktapur, Nepal, on August 2, 2024, to veer off bad omens and ward off evil spirits. Falling on Trayodashi (third day) of the month of Shrawan (July/August), which is also known as Ghantakarna Chaturdasi, the event is celebrated in memory of the mythical demon Ghantakarna's death.
