Preparations In Full Swing In Nepal For Indra Jatra Festivities
A worker cleans and fixes the lights on a pole of the famous Gaddhi Baithak ahead of the Indra Jatra festival in Kathmandu Durbar Square, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 10, 2024. Indra Jatra, a festival dedicated to Lord Indra, god of rains, is celebrated annually in the Himalayan nation with gaiety and fervor. During the festival, Devraj Indra, the god of rains and good harvest, is worshipped for eight days, starting with the erection of a sacred wooden pole, ''Lingo,'' at the premises of Kathmandu Durbar Square. The fourth day of the marathon worship festival witnesses singing, mask dancing, and rejoicing with other rituals. The procession, which takes place in Kathmandu Durbar Square, has the living goddess Kumari as the center of attraction, as Goddess Kumari publicly appears on this particular day.
