The Indra Jatra festival falls in September and is one of the most exciting and revered festivals of
the Kathmandu Valley. Thousands gather to witness and be part of this festival which lasts eight
days.

Locally known as Yenyā, the festival thanking Lord Indra for the rains is celebrated with
singing, dancing and feasting.

During Indra Jatra, masked dancers known as Lakhay, representing gods, goddesses and
demons take to the streets every evening accompanied with loud drums.

Come witness the unique rendering of the Lakhey Dance at the Chhaya Center Courtyard and be
mesmerized by the unique culture and classical dance to appease the Gods.
