On the occasion of Biscuit Jatra, which will last for eight nights and nine days in Bhaktapur, at 11 am on Sunday morning, an unarmed lingo was picked up in the pottery village of Bhaktapur's Pottery Square.

Every year on the day of Chait Masanta, the Lingo without hands, which is raised in the morning in the local potter's village of Bhaktapur, has been ritually worshiped today. 

Every year on the occasion of Bisketjatra, the unhandled lingo raised on the day of Chait Masanta is thrown on the morning of Baisakh 5, the last day of the Jatra. After the potter lifts the lingo in the morning in the tol, in the afternoon worshiping Bhairav ​​and Bhadrakali, the chariot is lifted in the evening at Bhelukhel with a 55 hand long lingo with the Indrabhaja, which is the symbol of a serpent with hands, prepared by Tantric method. 

It is called the world-famous Lingo Jatra. On the 1st of Baisakh, this lingo is ritually felled in the evening after performing a pilgrimage throughout the day. On the other hand, a lingo was also raised in front of the Mahalakshmi temple at Madhyapurthimi-8 Bode this morning. In the presence of Surendra Shrestha, the head of Madhyapurthimi Municipality, with the participation of people's representatives, the locals raised the lingo in front of the Mahalakshmi temple.

Local Dilkrishna Prajapati informed that after completing the tantric ritual in the morning, after the locals pick up the lingo, the pilgrimage and festival of Thimi region will start in a formal manner, a fair will be held in the monastery and a feast will begin. 

'In front of the Mahalakshmi temple, a tongue-piercing festival is held by raising a lingo. It is believed that after lifting the lingo in front of this temple, the tongue-piercing festival also started," he said. Here today, the chariot of Kumari will be taken to Lahitol and at around 9 o'clock in the night, after burning firewood brought from Nilbarhi forest, 28-year-old Sujan Wang Shrestha will start fasting and pierce his tongue on 2nd Baisakh. 

After the fast starts today, it is customary for people who pierce their tongues not to eat anything, talk to women and touch and bathe, touch and bathe animals such as dogs, chickens, and cats. On the occasion of Biscuit Jatra in Madhyapurthima, the local people celebrate Jatras and festivals like Sindur Jatra, Bishnuveer Jatra, Night Chanhesia Jatra, Siddhikali Jatra etc.
