Rato Machhindranath Jatra | Oku Bahal to Thaina | रातोमच्छिन्द्रनाथ जात्रा | Celebration Fun | 2081 #MountainSoul #ratomachindranath Rato Machindranath Jatra (Nepali: रातो मच्छिन्द्रनाथको रथयात्रा; Newar: बुंग द्यः जात्रा, Buṅga Dyaḥ Jātrā) is a chariot festival which is held in Lalitpur, Nepal. It is one of the greatest religious events in the city and the longest chariot festival celebrated in the country. Buṅga Dyaḥ is also known as Raktalokitesvara, Karunamaya, and Rāto Machhindranāth and is revered as the god of rain and the giver of grains. The name Rato Machhindranath means Red Machhendranath in reference to the color of the deity's image. The chariot festival is held according to the lunar calendar, so the date is changeable. It begins on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of Bachhalā, the seventh month in the lunar Nepal Sambat calendar. History: In the past, for 12 years, there was no rainfall, and all the river dried off. To find out the solution to this problem, the King of Bhaktapur kingdom at that time went to Swayambhu to meet Tantrik. Then, the Tantrik said that Guru Gorakhnath is angry, so he is meditating on the cushion of 9 mighty serpents whose duty was to cause rainfall in the valley. Until and unless the serpents will be free, rainfall doesn’t happen in the valley. It is possible only when his teacher Rato Machhindranath visits him. So the king started searching for his teacher. After some time, they find out that Machhindranath was reborn as the 108th son of King Sashi in Assam. Then the king of Bhaktapur, Tantrik from Kathmandu, and a Newar from Lalitpur went to Assam to bring Machhindranath back. They knew that it wouldn’t be easy to get him because he was the son of Daitya. They tried a lot but they were not successful in bringing him back. Then the Tantrik called 4 Bhairab and asked them to bring him back. Bhairab brought him back to Guru Gorakhnath, and he stood quietly seeing his teacher. Finally, the serpents were free then the rain started raining on the valley.
