Buṅga Dyaḥ, also known as Avalokitesvara Karunamaya and Rato Machhindranāth, is revered as the giver of rain. The name Rato Machhendranath means Red Machhendranath in a reference to the color of the deity's image. According to legends, Rato Machindranath Jatra is a celebration which once rescued Kathmandu Valley of severe drought. It is believed that Guru Gorakhnath had visited Patan in the Medieval days and as no one had recognized him, he had become upset and captured the serpents responsible for rain. He took them to Kathmandu to store them and then started to meditate. A drought followed in Patan. King Narendra Dev’s advisors told him to bring Machindranath from Assam, India to Patan, as Machindranath was the teacher of Guru Gorakhnath. When the Guru knew that his teacher had come to Patan, he immediately released all the serpents and then a huge rain followed the return of the serpents. The tradition of pulling the Rato Machindranath chariot was thus started in 879 AD by king Narendra Dev to honor Rato Machindranath. Rato Machindranath Jatra is celebrated with a month-long chariot procession. A chariot with an approximate height of 60 feet is constructed at Pulchowk to mark the beginning of the festival and is decorated with all kinds of garlands and other decorations. When the chariot is complete, the idol of Rato Machindranath is transferred from his temple. Another smaller chariot also accompanies Rato Machindranath which is known as ‘Mimnath’. Revellers then drag the chariots through the streets of Lalitpur through Natole, Gabahal, Mangal Bazaar, Sundhara, Lagankhel, Kumaripati then finally to rest at Jawalakhel. Bhoto Jatra is celebrated a few days after the chariot reaches Jawalakhel. The living goddess Kumari of Patan also arrives at Jawalakhel to observe Bhoto Jatra and she watches the ceremony from a special rest house. After the festival is over, the chariot is dismantled and Rato Machindranath is taken to a temple in Bungamati, known as the second home of the rain god. The deity spends the next six months in that temple. |
