💨 Abstract

The Biska Jatra festival was celebrated in Bhaktapur, Nepal on April 10. This nine-day event, associated with the Nepali New Year, involves the ascension of Lord Bhairab onto a chariot, pulled by two groups of locals. The festival, believed to have originated during the Malla Dynasty, includes rituals such as the killing of snakes and the erection of sacred poles.
