The chariot of the deity Bhairavnath has been pulled to Thimi on the fifth day of Biska (Bisket) Jatra on Friday.

Local youths pulled the chariot early in the morning, lighting traditional lamps and playing musical instruments.

The festival that kicked off on Monday will end on April 18.

During the festival, the residents of Thane (upper) and Kwane (lower) quarters of the Bhaktapur Durbar Square tug the three–storey pagoda style chariot where the statues of Bhairavnath and Betaal have been installed following a worship ceremony before the beginning of the festival, to take it to their part of the neighbourhood.

The side pulling the chariot to their quarter of the town will be viewed as the victors.

Here are some photos of the festival captured by the Post's photographer Sanjog Manandhar.
