The people of Kathmandu valley celebrated the 250th Indra Jatra this year. Indra Jatra is one of the important Jatra (festival) celebrated in Kathmandu Valley. However, like most festivals of Nepal, both Hindus and Buddhist unite to celebrate the festival of Indra Jatra. The living Goddess Kumari is taken out in a procession in a chariot. King of Nepal pay a visit to Kumari on the first and last day of this festival. This festival is celebrated for 1 week, couple of weeks before the biggest hindu festival Dashain.
Yesterday, during Kumari Jatra or Indra Jatra, we witnessed our new monarch Sri 8 Maharajadhiraj Girija Babu. I never saw any of our prime ministers been escorted that way with so many convoy ahead and behind his vehicle. Traffic was halted and on top of that it was raining many people faced traffic jams. I too was stuck in that very traffic jam and every one was not happy with that act of our Prime Minister.
We still have King in our nation, he is not yet striped from his post, and the current parliament even can not do so as they have mention in new constitution that they will decide the future role of the king after CA polls.
I support Local Empowerment. So, I’m sharing this Everest Base Camp Trek to promote a new way of trekking where trekkers can empower the local service providers like lodges, guides and porters by booking services directly through them. #empoweringthehimalayas #freetriptoeverest
