Kathmandu: President Bidya Devi Bhandari on Saturday graced the Bhoto or jewel-studded vest displayed at Jawalakhel as part of the Rato Machhindranath procession.
There is an age-old practice of the Head of the State observing the Bhoto Jatra to mark the end of the procession every year.
This festival is celebrated by pulling the wooden wheeled chariot along the various parts of the city. A 60-feet tall spire fabricated from bamboo poles raised from its all four ends is carried by the chariot. The festival comes to an end with it after the chariot of the deity is pulled up to Jawalakhel of Lalitpur.
