Indra Jatra

Nepalese women struggle to drink homemade alcohol from the mouth of the deity Swet Bhairav as a blessing during the Indra Jatra festival. The annual festival, named after Indra, the god of rain and heaven, is celebrated by worshipping, rejoicing, singing, dancing, and feasting in Kathmandu Valley to mark the end of the monsoon season. Indra, the living goddess Kumari, and other deities are worshipped during the festival.
