Indra Jatra has started at Naradevi in Kathmandu. Indrajatra, a special festival of the valley, starts from the day of Bhadra Shukla Dwadasi. But in Naradevi, there is a custom to welcome Indrajatra by worshiping the idol of Indra on the previous day. The Jatra is starting from Sunday in Basantpur area of Kathmandu.
भाद्र शुक्ल द्वादशीका दिन हनुमानढोका अगाडि धर्मत: इन्द्रध्वजासहितको लिंगो ठड्याइएपछि सुरु हुने यो जात्रा विभिन्न प्रकारका नाचगान, रथयात्रा र देवी–देवताको पूजाआजा गरी आठ दिनसम्म मनाइन्छ। यसरी लिंगो ठड्याइने प्रक्रियालाई ‘इन्द्रध्वजोत्थान’ भनिन्छ। लिंगोको फेदमा भैरवको पूजा गरिन्छ । शत्रु पराजय भएपछि विजय मनाउने पर्वका रूपमा इन्द्रजात्रा मनाउने गरिएको प्रचलन छ। इन्द्रध्वजको पूजा गरी शक्ति प्राप्त गरेर प्रदर्शन गर्ने पर्वका रूपमा पनि इन्द्रजात्रालाई लिइन्छ। काठमाडौं, ललितपुर, भक्तपुर, धुलिखेल, दोलखालगायत ठाउँहरूमा धुमधामसाथ इन्द्रजात्रा मनाउने चलन छ।
