Nepalese New Year (April)

is the first day of the solar calendar called Baishak. The advent of the Bikram Era, although an adaptation from the Indian sub-continent, takes place in the summer season and is marked by a chariot procession in Bhadgaon City with the name of Bisket Jatra. On this day a gigantic pole installed with two long flags hanged on the top will be laid down (rooted out) in a great pomp and show. This will last for a week, many chariots festivals of Gods and Goddesses will be celebrated with open joeys and cheers.
