People from the Newar Community pull the massive wooden Indradhoj pole, locally known as Yasi, to the main square of the Kathmandu Durbar Square in preparation for the upcoming Indra Jatra festival in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 31, 2025. The sacred pole, traditionally cut from a carefully selected tree, is carried with great effort and devotion by the locals through a long procession. In Nepal, Devraj Indra, the God of rains and good harvest, is worshipped for eight days, starting with the erection of a sacred wooden pole locally called ''Yashi'' at the premises of Kathmandu Durbar Square. The fourth day of the marathon worship festival witnesses singing, mask dance, and other rituals. The Fourth Day of the waxing moon in the month of Bhadra, as per the lunar calendar, is the Indra Jatra, which is followed for a long time. Legends say that the Indra Jatra festival is observed to celebrate the victory of the gods over the demons to release Jayanta, the son of Lord Indra. It is believed that Lord Indra comes to the earth to collect white flowers for his mother but is caught by the locals (The Newars) of the Kathmandu valley and kept bound. After Lord Indra's mother, Jayanta, comes and discloses his identity, a procession takes place, which continues till now.
