Sindur Jatra 2019 !!

Sindoor Jatra is celebrated in 2nd of Baisakh as part of Bisket Jatra at Thimi, Bhaktapur.This festival welcomes the New Year and marks the arrival of spring season.

On the third day of the 10-day Bisket Jatra, male representatives from various quarters of Thimi and from the surrounding villages in Bhaktapur bring out a procession of 32 palanquins called khats with images of different gods.

As the 32 khats come together, sindoor (vermillion powder) is hurled at them and the ceremony reaches fever pitch as the khat bearing Ganesha arrives from the village of Nagadish. Crowds parade up and down the streets until late morning when Ganesha, borne by hundreds of men, makes a break for home, pursued by other khats.

If the latter can catch Ganesha, the activities are prolonged, but eventually Ganesha departs and the festival moves on to Taleju Temple. Later, in the day, crowds swarm to Bode to witness the tongue-boring festival.

A short visit to Swayambhunath!!

March 9,2019 International Women's Day,it was a public holiday and it had a been long that  i haven't travel and taken pictures because of my busy schedule so i grab  my camera bag and decide to visit UNESCO World heritage site "Swayambhunath".It is also known as "Monkey Temple" as there are holy monkeys living in the north-west parts of the temple. After almost 9 years i visited this place. We need to climb around 350 stairs  to reach the temple. Most part of the Kathmandu valley is seen from the top.The night view from there is breath taking.
