Rato Machhindranath to be seated in a chariot on July 8

Rato Machhindranath is scheduled to be seated in a chariot on July 8.

Machindranath, who has been kept facing east in Tasbahas on July 8, will be turned east in a chariot made in Pulchowk. Currently, only the site of the Rath Yatra has been made public.

Discussions are going on about when and how to do the rath yatra after sitting in the rath. Various options are being discussed considering the possibility of large crowds during the corona infection.

Locals have also said that they can conduct the procession by adopting vigilance. Locals suggested that people should not be allowed to go out during the rath yatra and arrangements should be made to visit from the house. Suryaman Dangol, who participated in the construction of the chariot, said that the procession was affected due to the corona .

The construction work of the chariot was started on June 26 after the procession was stopped for a long time. A meeting of Guthi and stakeholders related to the Rath Yatra has decided to complete the procession by constructing a Rath Yatra.
