epa11825514 A Hindu boy reacts while getting his head shaved as he attends the ritual for Bratabandha, a coming of age ceremony, at the Pashupati temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, 15 January 2025. During the Bratabandha religious ceremony, boys shave their heads, beard and perform rituals for about four to five hours, symbolically meaning they are now mature enough to perform their duties as grown men. Following the ritual, they are each given a janai, or sacred thread, and are henceforth expected to abide by the rules and norms of full-aged men, taking an active part in religious ceremonies, last rites rituals, marriages, etc. EPA/NARENDRA SHRESTHA
