GAIJATRA

: Gaijatra festival is mainly red by the Newar community of Kathmandu in memory of the N relatives. Processions are organized where the participants  disguised as cows perform the 1 traditional dance of 'Ghintnggisi Twaka.' The festival was started by King Jay Sthiti Malla to console his queen, grieving the death of their son. The tradition I survived and the people observe Gaijatra to these days to honor their dead relatives.
