Balambu Mahalakshmi Jaatraa
Description Balambu is an ancient settlement in the western part of the Kathmandu Valley that dates back to the Lichhchavi period of Nepal's history. The village has many ancient historic stone inscriptions, and its musical culture is very rich. The day-long jaatraa of goddess Mahalakshmi takes place in November and starts at her temple in Balambu. The chariot carrying the image of the goddess is supported on the shoulders of her followers in a procession that crosses the whole settlement so that all villagers have an opportunity to worship her and join in the celebrations. The procession includes traditional musicians playing music for the goddess.
