Matatirtha Aunsi or Mother's Day that falls on the new moon day in the month of Baisakh as per the lunar calendar is observed every year in honour of mothers.
Devotees stay awake throughout the night the day before in memory of their mothers and take a holy bath the following day.
According to a religious belief that one can see the face of their deceased mother reflected in the pond if they imagine their mother with a pious heart and deep devotion.
People visit their mothers with sweets, clothes and gifts to make them happy, and receive blessings from them. Those who lost their mothers visit Matatirtha and pay homage to them.
Katherine Charleston, a photojournalism student from The Netherlands, is currently in Kathmandu. She has taken some pictures of the mother's day celebration at Matatirtha temple.
