Yonshi Ceremonial Pole Brought To Hanumandhoka Ahead Of Indra Jatra
A member of the Nepal Army from the Gurju Paltan fires a ceremonial gunshot to mark the conclusion of the Yonshi's journey from Bhotahiti to Hanumandhoka Durbar Square during preparations for the Indra Jatra festival in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 31, 2025. The Yonshi is formally raised on Bhadra 19 as per the Nepali calendar, after which the eight-day-long festival officially starts, honoring Indra, the King of Heaven and Lord of Rains. The Yonshi, ceremonially cut from the forest in Bhaktapur, is pulled through the streets of Kathmandu earlier in the day. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
