After 35 years, Bhimsen Jatra has been conducted at Dhulikhel in Kavre. Bhimsen Jatra, which is celebrated on the day of Marg Shukla Purnima, has been celebrated again from this year.
The Bhimsen Jatra celebrated by Bhimsen Guthiyar since ancient times was stopped for 35 years due to financial management and various problems.
It has been restarted from this year with the aim of continuing the Jatra by gathering local youth saying that art and culture should be protected. For its protection and management, Sikhlapur Youth Club Dhulikhel's activity and with the support and coordination of the locals of Dhulikhel, the Jatra has been continued, said club representative Urbin Makju.
According to Bekulal Kapali, a 58-year-old local, the Jatra begins on the eve of the Marg Shukla Purnima by worshiping at the monastery in Dhulikhel. On the same day, Ranga Bali is offered at Bhimsen temple located in Dhulikhel-7.
An invitation is given to Mulghar to worship the idol of Bhimsen for Jatra. Bhimsen Jatra begins with the worship of Bhagwati and Harisiddhi in Dhulikhel on the day of Marg Shukla Purnima. Kapali said that during the Jatra, Bhimsen and Drapati will be placed in a chariot and the market will be circumambulated from the Bhimsen temple located in Dhulikhel-7. As Bhimsen is also considered as the deity of business, it is believed that traders worship Bhimsen with special faith. Starting from Bhimsen temple located at Dhulikhel-7 and reaching Ganesha temple at Chochchen located at Dhulikhel-6, immersion is done.
