The tongue piercing festival has concluded in Bode, Thimi, Bhaktapur. Local Sujan Bagh Shrestha has continued the festival by piercing his tongue for the fourth time.
Shrestha, who pierced his tongue last year, has pierced his tongue for the fourth time today to continue the festival. Every year on 2nd Baisakh, the tongue piercing artist Naike worships various deities and pierces the tongue with the help of a Nayakhin baja. Sujan lights a crescent-shaped lamp made of bamboo and reeds and carries it around various villages. After the parikrama, the needle is taken out from the Mahalakshmi temple and the soil from there is placed on the tongue. 
Similarly, today, the Sindoor Jatra is being celebrated with great pomp in Madhyapur Thimi, Bhaktapur.
As part of the Biska Jatra of Bhaktapur, there is a tradition of performing the Sindoor Jatra in Thimi on 2nd Baisakh.
The Jatra is celebrated by circumambulating the 32 Khat Balkumari temples of the Thimi area. However, due to various disputes, since 2056 BS, the Khat Balkumari temples of Nagdesh, Bode, and Tigni have not been visited for the circumambulation, and now only 19 Khats have been celebrated for this Jatra. 
The main deity is placed in the Khat and the Chirag Bali Sindoor Jatra is celebrated with the Dhimebaja player. During the Jatra, the pilgrims sprinkle vermilion in every chowk, crossroads, house, and village. It is also called the Sindoor Jatra because the local people have fun by smearing vermilion on each other and playing vermilion on each other while rotating the deity's khat while playing the kaya baja, bhusya baja, and dhime baja.
