Riotous fun at Nepal’s Bisket Jatra festival

Robert Harding

This lively festival kicks off the Nepali New Year with traditional music and rituals including the throwing of coloured powder. The biggest celebration takes place in the town of Bhaktapur where inhabitants take part in a giant and rowdy tug of war.
