Today is Bhoto Jatra, the last day of the Rato Machhindranath Chariot Festival, which lasts for a month.
The jewel-encrusted traditional Nepali vest, known as the “Bhoto,” will be on display in Jawalakhel on Sunday to mark the conclusion of the festival.
The Rato Machhindranath Chariot Festival includes Bhoto Jatra, an annual cultural and religious occasion where the black vest adorned with jewels, known as “Bhoto,” is on display. It is said to have belonged to the serpent king Nagraj.
The god of rain, Rato Machhindranath, is highly revered. Paying respect to Lord Machhindranath is thought to bring good fortune and grant wishes.
The government of the Kathmandu Valley has proclaimed today a public holiday in observance of the occasion. The three Kathmandu Valley districts of Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur will observe the vacation, according to a notice sent by the Home Ministry on Friday.
