Seto Machindranath Festival In Kathmandu, Nepal.

Members of the Newari community pull the Seto Machindranath wooden chariot during the Seto Machindranath chariot festival in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 29, 2026. The Seto Machindranath Festival, also known as Jana Baha Dyah Jatra, is a significant religious celebration in Kathmandu, dedicated to Seto Machindranath, a revered figure worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists as a god of compassion and rain. Devotees from the Newar community pull the chariot through the old city areas, including Asan Bazaar and Hanuman Dhoka. The journey lasts several days and is accompanied by traditional music, rituals, and large crowds of devotees seeking blessings. (Photo by Ambir Tolang/NurPhoto)
