An event on the first day of Yenya "Indra Jatra Festival" which is celebrated for eight days long in Kathmandu is "Upaku Wangu" in the evening when participants visit shrines holding lighted incense to honor a deceased family member. They also place 365 small butter lamps on the way. The circuitous route winds along the periphery of the historic part of the city. Children collect those butter lamps and burn them.
