Bagh Jatra

The Bagh Jatra of Pokhara is another cultural baggage brought by Newars from Kathmandu.

The festival has been celebrated in Pokhara for about 150 years. It expresses the people's joy at their deliverance from a marauding tiger. On the first day, people dressed up like hunters make an appearance accompanied by musical bands. The next day is an interlude devoted to the showing of comic programs.
