People from the LGBTQ community took part in a pride parade celebration in Kathmandu on Thursday.

At the event organised by the Blue Diamond Society, people come together each year during the annual pride parade coinciding with the Gai Jatra festival in which people wish eternal peace for their deceased family members.

The theme of this year’s parade was “Celebrate culture: Embrace gender diversity.”

Here are some of the photos of the celebration at Thamel captured by the Post’s Photojournalist Deepak KC.
