Nepal's Red God Returns Back To Patan

Nepal's Red God Returns Back To Patan

Devotees are lighting incense sticks during the procession of Lord Macchindranath, also known as the Red God of Lalitpur, as the deity is being taken to Macchindra Bahal in Patan from Bungmati. This is part of the tradition where the god resides in Bungmati for half of the year and in Patan for the other half. Following Nepal's longest chariot festival of Rato Macchindranath, the lord of rain and harvest, the idol is moved to Bungmati to rest and is then brought back to Patan.
