Kathmandu’s grandest street festival with living gods, masked dances, and chariot parades. |
Celebrated in the heart of the old city, Indra Jatra is an explosion of myth, ritual, and pageantry dedicated to Indra, the god of rain. The week-long festivities feature towering wooden chariots pulled through packed streets, the dramatic Lakhey (demon) dances, and appearances by the Living Goddess Kumari. Held every September, it transforms Kathmandu Durbar Square into a living theater of Newar culture, with sacred and festive elements intertwining in unforgettable ways.
