Oct 06, 2004; Pashupatinath, Kathmandu, NEPAL; Srawan is one of the major festivals among the Hindu community in India and Nepal. Hindu devotees are famous for walking barefoot and shouting 'Bol Bum, ' a nickname for the Hindu Lord Shiva. In the Hindu month of Srawan (July - August) devotees will celebrate all the temples of Lord Shiva especially on Mondays. Barefoot devotees, wearing saffron colored robes and bandanas with the 'Bol Bum' slogan take a holy dip in Ganga River and then carry kanwars of holy water to the Lord Shiva Temples. One of the major Temples is Pashupatinath which is in Kathmandu. Devotees carry food more than 200 km and sleep without pillows or mattresses. 'Bhoomi parees' are devotees who make the journey by laying flat on the ground, stretching their hands above their heads and make a mark, then they stand up on the mark. There are only a few people that complete the distance. Due to the extreme Hindu movement in India and Nepal the Bol Bum pilgrims ratio is increasing each year.
