Under the Indra Jatra festival, a towering wooden pole (lingo) has been installed at the Hanumandhoka of Basantapur Durbar Square at an auspicious hour of 10:37 am today as advised by the Nepal Calendar Determination Development Committee.

The moment is traditionally observed as the 'Indradhwojotthan'. The lingo was brought from Bhaktapur to install it at Hanumandhoka, according to the Hanumandhoka Durbar Management and Conservation Office Chief Sandeep Khanal.
