Observed every five years, the Vihars within the Kathmandu Valley are bringing all the idols of Buddha, followed by thousands of devotees who are queuing to worship and offer alms. This festival has been celebrated in Lalitpur for more than seven centuries, having started from Nepal Sambat 135 or 1015 AD, during the Licchivi Period of Nepal's ancient history.
