Indra Jatra: A Festival Built to Read the Sky

Before Kathmandu had a name it could agree on, it had a festival for thanking the rain. Indra Jatra is still, underneath the masks and chariots, an eight-day argument that a city and its climate are not separate things. The Story Every year, a few weeks before Indra Jatra formally opens in Kathmandu Durbar Square, a small group of men walk into a forest outside the Valley to find one specific tree....
