Preparations for Indra Jatra are in full swing at Basantapur Durbar Square, including the construction of chariots and site cleaning. Cultural landmarks like Kasthamandap, Kumari House, and Shiva-Parvati Temple are being painted and decorated with red clothes.
Celebrated primarily by the Newa community, this festival is observed with grandeur in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Dhulikhel, and Dolakha.
The eight-day event, which begins after the erection of the Indradhwaja pole, features dances, chariot processions, and various religious ceremonies.
