Resettled folks celebrate Janai Purnima (Diaspora)
Oakland (CA), August 19: A dozen of exiled Bhutanese, resettled here a few months back, celebrated Janai Purnima on August 16, Saturday.
“We were happy to have Guru Hem Raj Mishra from Beldangi in the bay area”, said one of the exiled Bhutanese.
Mishra, who arrived here two weeks back, offered thread, janai and tika to those Bhutanese who gathered at the residence of Lok Nath Bastola.
