I spend few days in Nepal and Bhaktapur is one of the best place in my list. Bhaktapur is known as his culture, architect, festivals and People. Bhaktapur has beautiful environment, all people get together each and every evening they talk and make good communication. Festivals are part of hindu's life. No matter where they live, where they are they worship their god and goddess. When i was there i spend a day in Bhaktapur with my friends. I watched a festival which is called "NavaDurga Jatra".
Goddess Durga has 9 Avatars as we all know.
Sailaputri ( शैलपुत्री ) Brahmacharini ( व्रह्मचारणी ) Candraghaṇṭa ( चन्द्रघण्टा ) Kusamanda ( कुशमाण्डा ) Skandamata ( स्कन्दमाता ) Katyayani ( कात्यायनी ) Kalaratri ( कालरात्री ) Mahagauri ( महागौरी ) Siddhidatri ( सिद्धिदात्री )
In NavaDurga Jatra, all people of Bhaktapur get together and do worship of goddess Durga. It's similar to Navaratri Festival in India. Few Things that i have found new is, they worship the props of Goddess Durga like cloths, Hairs, artworks, and mask. After Preparing all things, they do worship and then they play game which is known as Machamarne or Fishing ( in English )
Newari is community of People in Bhaktapur they have this special spiritual game. Newari People start that game after worshiping.
There are rules in the game. The people who wear mask they are known as Fishers. They are avatar of Goddess Durga according to the Game. The children who run in the game are called fishes. It's interesting when the game begins. one more rule is Goddes will not capture the girls of women. If fisher or Goddess capture children, they can twist their ears. It's fun to see while when they run on the streets with freedom. If someone elder is caught in the game they have to give some money to fisher.
Rules are interesting and when it begins it seems fun.
All children running throughout the streets, every single person standing on the side of the road. People give respect to their children and society. I want to be the part of that game but children are major part of this game "Machamarne".
After spending a great time with this activity, people get together again and do worship in the evening. Few oldest people in society they do Bhajan and Kirtan every single day in evening. It's magical stuff. If you spend time there nearby the magical chants you are gonna love it. I love the sound when i capture this all events.
You can enjoy the soundtrack and magical game.
In this video, i try to put every single things together in the videos,. so you can learn and earn the knowledge through my videos.
I hope you will like the video and have good time.
