The Biska Jatra of Bhaktapur, which has various processions for eight nights and nine days, is being formally concluded today.
This evening, the procession will end with the pulling of the three-storey chariot of Bhairavnath in Gahiti Tole. The locals in Gahiti Tole are pulling the chariot to their respective toles like on the first day. Today is called Dyo Thaha Vijayaingu, or riding on the deity. The locals pulled the chariot after worshipping it properly. The specialty of the procession is the pulling of ropes on both sides. The procession will end today with the chariot being brought to Tamari.
Similarly, this morning, a hand-made Yasindyo or Lingo was cast in Kumale Tole of Bhaktapur.
The statue, which was erected by the Prajapati community in the premises of the Jetha Ganesh temple in Kumale Tol on the last day of Chaitra, was pulled down by the locals this morning with a rope after worshipping it with musical instruments.
