Janai Purnima — a thread of love, faith, and Newa tradition. 🌿🧵
For the Newa community, Janai Purnima is also Kwati Punhi, a day when families come together to prepare and enjoy Kwati — a nourishing soup made from nine kinds of sprouted beans. 🥣❤️
There’s a little story in every bowl: after the long rains, our ancestors celebrated with Kwati as a way to restore strength and warmth. Alongside the sacred thread, the festival became a beautiful reminder of protection, family, community, and gratitude.
From the sacred Janai and Doro to a warm bowl of Kwati, we carry our heritage forward — one generation, one ritual, and one shared meal at a time.
शुभ जनै पूर्णिमा तथा क्वाती पुन्ही! 🙏✨
