Indra jatra
Indra Jatra and Pulu Kisi are traditional festivals celebrated in Nepal, particularly in the Kathmandu Valley. Here's some information about each:
1. *Indra Jatra:* Indra Jatra is one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in Kathmandu, Nepal. It usually falls in September and lasts for eight days. The festival is dedicated to Lord Indra, the Hindu god of rain, and Kumari, the living goddess of Kathmandu.
During Indra Jatra, the Kumari, who lives in the Kumari Ghar (the Kumari's residence) in Kathmandu Durbar Square, makes a public appearance, which is a significant event. Various processions, cultural dances, and religious rituals take place during this festival. One of the notable traditions is erecting a large ceremonial pole known as "Yosin" or "Yosin Thanegu" at Basantapur Durbar Square. It's also a time for families to come together, offer prayers, and celebrate.
2. **Pulu Kisi (Yosin)**: Pulu Kisi is a unique and fascinating event that is part of the Indra Jatra festival. It takes place on the fourth day of the festival. During Pulu Kisi, a large ceremonial wooden pole called "Yosin" is brought down with much fanfare. The Yosin is erected at the beginning of the festival and taken down on this day, signifying the official end of Indra Jatra.
The lowering of the Yosin involves a spectacular display of traditional skills and teamwork, as groups of men work together to gradually lower the tall pole without it falling to the ground. This process is accompanied by cheers, music, and dancing. Once the Yosin is successfully brought down, it marks the conclusion of Indra Jatra celebrations.
Both Indra Jatra and Pulu Kisi are not only significant religious festivals but also cultural events that showcase Nepal's rich traditions and heritage. They provide a unique opportunity for locals and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of the Kathmandu Valley.
