Happy Buddha Purnima
The Bunga Dya (Rato Machhindra) festival, in which Hindu and Buddhist devotees pull two thick ropes tied to the chariot though the narrow streets of Patan, a Kathmandu suburb, preludes the monsoon season in a nation where a majority of population still depend on farming. The legend says that around the 7th century, a massive drought hit the Kathmandu Valley, and people believed that only the red deity could bring back rainfall. King Narendra Dev, along with a priest and farmer, traveled to what is now Assam state in India and brought back Karunamaya, or the god of compassion. It is now popularly known as Rato Machhindranath.
For generations, men divided in three teams have worked for weeks every spring season to put together the chariot.
Happy Earth Day.
Lets save our earth from plastic
The second day of Baishakh is the day when the number of participants exceeds that of the observers. On this day, 32-chariot festival takes place at Balkumari early in the morning. The number of chariots these days are not exactly 32 since the Bisket Jatra got divided into Bodey, Tigani and Nagadesh. The chariots are gathered around Balkumari and are revolved around the temple by the participants. While playing with vermilion powder, they carry chariots and lights, and play traditional drums, dhimay and nayakhin in particular. On the same day, Bisket festival also takes place in Nagadesh and Tigani of Madhyapur Thimi. In Bodey, an extraordinary festival takes place at Bhangutole – the tongue-piercing festival.
