Videos and photos of the Makar Mela in Panauti, Nepal

The great Makar Mela(Capricorn pilgrimage) of Panauti in Nepal, which happens only every twelve years has concluded now. Day by day for one month thousands of pilgrims took the holy dip at Trivenighat, where the auspicious confluence of three rivers takes place.

The next Makar Mela will take place in Panauti in the year 2022(2078 B.S.).

Even the former King of Nepal, Mr. Gyanendra Shah took the chance to try to wash of his sins, breaking an ancient tradition that did forbid members of the royal family to enter Panauti.
