There’s always a festival happening in Kathmandu every month. Colorful and spiritually profound, these festivals are community affairs and are celebrated with pomp and gaiety. If you are travelling to Kathmandu this August, don’t miss out on these grand festivals.
Gai Jatra:
August 8, 2017 at Basantapur Durbar Square
Observed in memory of dead souls, Gai Jatra is celebrated in Kathmandu. People who have lost their loved ones in the past year join a colourful parade holding pictures of the departed soul. They dress their children in funny costumes and walk through the Kathmandu Durbar Square. This festival was started by a Malla King whose queen was mourning the loss of their child. He wanted to remind her that death visits everybody. To put the smile back on his queen the king passed a royal decree where those subjects who had lost a family member in the recent year had to walk past the palace dressed in a comic attire. A reward was announced to those who could make the queen laugh. When the queen witnessed the parade, she forgot her sadness and laughed. From then on Gai Jatra is celebrated every year during the month of Shravan.
