Indra Jatra

Yesterday it was the big annual festival Indra Jatra, or more specific Kumari Jatra, at Durbar square.
Ready about the festival here.
It was completely crazy! People and police everywhere.
We even saw them carry the living goddess, Kumari. Poor little girl!
Read more about the Kumari here.
She is right below the arrow.
Leya and I were standing right next to the largest chariot of three, but when they brought a cute lamb to the scene, we left. I knew they were going to kill it and I can't watch killings.
Here is the chariot where I assume Kumari was going to sit.
Many prominent people came, one by one in the flashiest cars ever seen in Nepal.
Here is a high officer and in the background you can see the Mercedes he came with.
