The fifteenth day of the dark fortnight of Bhadra (Sept) Gokarna Aunsi is a special day consecrated to all fathers. Sons and daughters pay obeisance to their fathers and offer delicious food items to them whereas in the cases of those whose fathers have expired, they go to the holy river Gokarna where the river flows unusually towards north near the temple of God Gokarneshwar on the periphery of Kathmandu. They bathe in the river and perform posthumous ceremony of worshipping the deceased or perform the Shraddah ritual in honour of their departed fathers.
