Priests are leading and performing the rituals of Seto Machhindranath and are changing their clothes before starting the procession at Macchindrabahal, the home of Nepal's White God, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 16, 2024. The chariot procession, honoring the god of rain, is also known as Jana Baha Dyah Jatra. A skyscraping chariot of Seto Machhindranath is being pulled from place to place during these three days. Each day, when the chariot reaches its terminus, a group of soldiers is firing their rifles into the air. According to myth, during the regime of Yakshya Malla, the King of Kantipur, people would bathe in a holy river and visit Swayambhunath, which was believed to possess the power of sending people to heaven after death. Once Yamraj, the God of Death, came to know about the power of Swayambhunath and visited the holy temple. At the time of his return from the temple, Yama was captured by King Yakshya Malla and his Guru, who possessed powers and demanded immortality. As the King and his Guru didn't let Yama escape, he prayed to Arya Awalokiteshwor (Seto Machhindranath) to free him. The god heard his prayers and immediately appeared from the water. The god was white in color with his eyes half-closed. He told the king to build a temple where the Kalmati and Bagmati rivers met and to organize a chariot procession so that the god could visit the people and bless them with contentment and long life. Since then, people have been celebrating this three-day-long procession to honor the god.
