                                                                                                                                                           Gai Jatra is a festival celebrated in Nepal mainly in Kathmandu valley by the Newar community.The festival commemorates the death of people during the year and is generally celebrated in the month of [Bhadra 
(Hindu calendar)|Bhadra] )August–September). The date is set according to the lunar Nepal Era calendar: it falls on the first day of the dark fortnight of the month of [Gunla].


Gai Jatra is a festival which enables people to accept the reality of death and to prepare oneself for the life after death. It heals the grief and sorrow, at least a little, when people see the cow possession and realize people die, and we are not alone in the country who lost our loved ones.

Thank You!!!
