  Biska Jatra (April)

Biska Jatra (April)

During this important festival, the old
kingdom of Bhaktapur and its neighboring areas replay a drama passed on over the centuries. Images of wrathful and somewhat demonic deities are placed on tottering chariots. They are offered blood sacrifices, flowers, and eoins. Men brimming with youthful vigor and rice beer drag the chariots across brick-paved streets of the town, and wherever these raths stop, lamps are lit and devotees overflow into the surrounding alleys. Other gods and goddesses, too, are put on palanquins and carried around so that they may see the sigbts. At Bode village, there is a tongue-boring ceremony in which the dedicated may reserve a place in heaven.
