Coconuts along with Yomari and Lhonchamari (a type of bread cooked by the Newars on Dhanyapurnima) are being offered on Friday evening from the top of the chariot of the red Matsyendranath, who is considered to be the god of rain and season.
During the Bhujya Jatra, there is a rush to pick the coconuts that are dropped. It is believed that a person who gets a coconut will get a son with 32 symptoms like Matsyendranath.
The next day after the coconuts are dropped, there is a tradition of 'Cak: Misaya: Bhujya:' that only women pull the chariot and perform the Jatra. Women pull the chariot early on Saturday morning from Thati tol to nearby Chardobato.
A letter is sent to an astrologer from the Guthi Sansthan to pull the chariot from Chardobato to Jawalakhel. Meanwhile, Matsyendranath's Dewali festival takes place. During the festival of Diwali, four joshis sit on the four sides of Manimandap Pati in Mangalbazar and watch the Sait. The chariot is kept in Chardobato of Thatti tol till sunset. On the day of Sait Jure, the chariot is pulled to Jawalakhel and four days after that, the Bhoto Jatra is performed.
