KATHMANDU, August 21: Father’s Day has been celebrated with gusto across the country on Monday.
“If someone takes a holy shower, keeping mum, early in the morning today, it will be equivalent to donating as many as 1,000 cows,” said Professor Dr. Dev Mani Bhattarai, head at the Department of Theology under Nepal Sanskrit University Balmiki Bidyapith, citing Hemadri scripture.
