    Rato Machhindranath Chariot Ascension In Nepal

    The idol of Lord Rato Machhindranath, also known as the ''Red God,'' is being lifted onto a sky-scraping chariot in Nepal on May 9, 2024. The ''Red God,'' revered as the lord of rain and harvest, is being placed on a 32-foot-tall chariot that is set to journey around the city for weeks. The chariot procession of Rato Machhindranath, also known as ''Bunga Dyo'' in Newari, meaning the God of Rain and Harvest, is the longest festival in Nepal, lasting for months and largely depending on astronomical calculations. The 32-foot-tall chariot of Rato Machhindranath is constructed annually by the Newar community using wooden beams and intricate adjustments to the shrine's sanctum, all without using a single nail. It takes the community about a week to build the chariot, which is then given a final touch-up with decorations before the idol of the lord is placed in the chariot.
