The fourth day- major event of Bisket Jatra

Bhelu Khel

by prabin_shrestha Published on Aug 23, 2020

Youths pull the chariot as soon as the lingos (poles) are erected on fourth day of Bisket Jatra at Bhelu Khel, Bhaktapur, Nepal. The fourth day is the last day of the year (Nepali New year) when the major event of Bisket Jatra takes place. Two lingos (poles) are erected in two different areas of Bhaktapur; one in the Pottery square around noon and another with two extended arms (representing snakes) in Bhelu Khel in the evening. Thousands of people gather around to witness this unique celebration. The pole in Bhelu Khel is crashed down symbolizing the killing of the snake after the 24 hours of its erection. However, the pole in Pottery Square is kept for another five days.
