Gaijatra Parade In Kathmandu.

Sexual minorities of Nepal are parading through the capital, Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 20, 2024, in commemoration of their deceased colleagues in the past year, coinciding with the festival of Gaijatra. The festival of Gaijatra also commemorates those who died in the past year, where people of all ages are disguising themselves as cows and lunatics and going around the city.

                  Nepal Observes Gaijatra Festival

                  A group of Nepali Hindu devotees are playing traditional musical instruments as they lead the way around the city to those disguised as cows, following beliefs that it will give salvation to the departed souls of their loved ones during the Gaijatra festival in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 20, 2024. The brief pilgrimage, where people are dressing as cows and lunatics, is going around the city wearing odd costumes to commemorate those who died within one year. The bereaved families are offering fruits, bread, beaten rice, curd, and money to those participating in the procession, including the cows. This festival of cows, commonly called ''Gai Jatra'' or the ''Cow Festival,'' falls on the first day of the waning moon in the month of Bhadra (Bhadra Sukla Pratipada), the fifth month of the Lunar calendar. It is mostly observed by the Newari and Tharu communities of Nepal. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
