The biggest religious street festival in Kathmandu, Nepal
According to legend, King Jaya Prakash Malla went to goddess Guheswori and prayed for her to give his kingdom after his own son had snatched it from him.
Satisfied by his sacrifices and prayers, the goddess bestowed upon him the unique sword known as Khadga-siddhi as a sign of her blessing. The king recovered his realm with the use of this sword. Thus, King Jaya Prakash Malla introduced a Kumari's chariot-pulling event to Indra Jatra in honor of the Goddess Guheswori, who is a distinct form of Goddess Kumari, for this deed.
The air is aromatized with the smell of incense, and the sound of the traditional drums called Dhimay Baja played by the Newari community is tranquil to the ears. For the eyes, one can behold the incarnation of Goddess Taleju also known as the living goddess Kumari. The Kumari is revered and admired as she holds the power to bring good fortune.
This festival generally falls in late August and sometimes in early September. This is also the season when it is the most ideal time to visit Nepal since it is autumn season and the weather is likely to be just right. Also the skies will be clear most of the day, giving you plenty of opportunities to grab spectacular views of the faraway mountain ranges.

On this day, the chariot of the Kumari followed by two other smaller chariots carrying a representative of Ganesh and Bhairav is taken to the south side of the old Kathmandu.
