    Preparations In Full Swing In Nepal For Indra Jatra Festivities

    People walk past two chariots under construction that will host Nepal's living gods--the Kumari, the Ganesh, and the Bhairab--during the Indra Jatra festival set to start next week, on September 10, 2024. Chariots are built for Nepal's living gods to tour them around the city during the Indra Jatra festival. Indra Jatra, a festival dedicated to Lord Indra, god of rains, is celebrated annually in the Himalayan nation with gaiety and fervor. During the festival, Devraj Indra, the god of rains and good harvest, is worshipped for eight days, starting with the erection of a sacred wooden pole, ''Lingo,'' at the premises of Kathmandu Durbar Square. The fourth day of the marathon worship festival witnesses singing, mask dancing, and rejoicing with other rituals. The procession, which takes place in Kathmandu Durbar Square, has the living goddess Kumari as the center of attraction as Goddess Kumari publicly appears on this particular day.
