As Nepal grapples with political unrest, a dedicated group of pilgrims from Tamil Nadu embarked on a spiritual journey to Kailash Mansarovar, crossing the India-Nepal border at Rupaidiha, Uttar Pradesh. Despite heightened tensions, they placed their faith in divine protection for a safe passage through the strife-torn region.
In a testament to adaptability, another testament to adaptability arose as a 'nikah' was held at the border after local authorities permitted the passage of a marriage party into Nepal. Groom Salauddin and his select group of 'baraatis' successfully crossed over to conduct the wedding ceremonies, marking a significant deviation from tradition due to the prevailing conditions.
The unrest in Nepal has been fueled by Generation Z-led protests demanding constitutional reforms. In this volatile atmosphere, faith and celebration continue undeterred, reflecting the resilience of communities and their cultural practices amid adversity.
