The fourth day of the waxing moon in the month of Bhadra (fifth month) according to the lunar calendar is Indra Jatra, which has been observed for a long time. Legends say that the Indra Jatra festival celebrates the victory of the gods over the demons to release Jayanta, the son of Lord Indra. It is believed that Lord Indra comes to the earth to collect white flowers for his mother but is caught by the locals (the Newars) of the Kathmandu valley and kept bound. After Lord Indra's mother, Jayanta, comes and discloses his identity, a procession takes place, which continues to this day. Indra, the god of rain, is worshiped in this festival primarily celebrated by the Newar communities following both Hinduism and Buddhism. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
