Seto Machindranath Jatra commences

Every year in Chaitra, the Seto Machindranath Jatra (Janabaha Dyo Jaatra) is celebrated in the Kathmandu Valley. On the first day, the chariot is pulled from Jamal, Durbar Marg, through Bhotahiti to Asan. The next day, the chariot is taken to Indra Chowk and Kathmandu Durbar Square where it makes its second stop. On the third day, it is pulled through Maru and Chika Mugal to Lagan. There the procession ends after the chariot makes three rounds of the temple housing the mother of Janabaha Dyo.
