It also known as SindurJatra or Sindoor Jatraa is a traditional festival celebrated in Nepal, particularly in the town of Thimi, located near Kathmandu. The festival typically falls in April, coinciding with the Nepali New Year or BisketJatra.

During SindoorJatra, participants engage in vibrant processions, music, dance, and rituals.

This act symbolizes the spreading of happiness, good luck, and prosperity.
