          A Nepali demon deity, Lakhe, performs while celebrating the annual festival of Indra Jatra in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 17, 2024. Indra Jatra, a festival dedicated to the lord of rain according to Hindu beliefs, is marked in Nepal with fervor and gaiety. The fourth day of the waxing moon in the month of Bhadra (the 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 came to earth to collect white flowers for his mother but was caught by the locals (the Newars) of the Kathmandu Valley and kept bound. After Lord Indra's mother, Jayanta, came and disclosed his identity, a procession took 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)
