The Yonshi (ceremonial pole/Indra Dhwaj) is seen at Hanumandhoka Durbar Square as Nepalese devotees and members of the Nepal Army bring it on Sunday as part of preparations for the eight-day-long Indra Jatra festival honoring Indra, the King of Heaven and Lord of Rains in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 31, 2025. The Yonshi is ceremonially cut from the forest in Bhaktapur and temporarily placed at Bhotahiti before being escorted through the streets of Kathmandu to Hanumandhoka. Devotees guide the Yonshi along the traditional route, with some bowing in reverence as it passes. It is formally raised on Bhadra 19 as per the Nepali calendar at 10:31 AM, after which the festival officially commences, reflecting centuries-old Newar cultural and religious traditions.
