Machhindranath jatra in Jawlakhel .
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: One of the most significant festivals in Patan is dedicated to the valley’s rain god, Rato Machhindranath Jatra. A special chariot is made out of bamboo and wood and the idol of Rato Machhindranath is placed inside the chariot by a Panneju priest. Devotees pull the chariot to different localities in Patan. He is believed to have been brought from Assam when Kathmandu was suffering from a long drought. He blessed the valley with rain and is thus known as the valley’s rain god. The festival ends with Bhoto Jatra- a ceremony where the bejeweled vest (bhoto) of the rain god is put on display. Rato Machchhindranath is also worshipped as Buddhist deities Padmapani Lokeshwar, Avalokiteshwor.
