न माओबादि न कांग्रेस न त एमाले, न हिमाली न पहाडी न त तराई, न धनी न त गरीब, म सोच छु आफुलाई यि भन्दा नि माथि । र भन्न छु आफुलाई एक आम नेपाली ।
मेरो नेपाल मेरो नेपाल मेरो नेपाल, मेरो देश मलाई लाग्छ प्यारो ।
A Fesival celebrating the birth of Krishna takes place at all the important shrines dedicated to him. Krishna Astami also known as Krishna Jayanti or Sri Krishna Janmastami is not only celebrated in Nepal but also in India, its neighboring country. The Hindu community in Nepal celebrates this festival with lot of fanfare. Devotees of Lord Krishna observe fast, consuming only fruits and milk products.


The Bhoto Jatra was begun since the Lichhavi period during the rule of King Gunakama Dev. Although the then kings used to be chief guest of the Bhoto Jatra ceremonies since the time of King Narendra Dev, the tradition was broken after the monarchy was abolished in the country.
