A Unique Festival Takes Place in Madhyapur Thimi Today

Today, on the full moon day of the Ashwin month, the unique "Yenya Punhi Mye Pwaa Khanegu Jatra" or the Tongue-Piercing Festival is being held in Madhyapur Thimi, Bhaktapur. The festival will begin at 7:00 PM from the Digu Bhairav Dabali in Madhyapur Thimi-5, Diguli. A brave culture lover from the area, Virendra Bhakta Gaju Shrestha, is the one piercing his tongue this year to keep this tradition alive.
