Khokana people mark Sikali Jatra during Dashain

Kathmandu, Oct. 5:

Khokana, located south of the Kathmandu Valley, is famous for mustard oil and beaten rice across the country. However, many people do not know another feature of Khokana—people here do not celebrate Dashain, the biggest festival of Nepalis. When the entire nation is preparing to celebrate Dashain, the people of Khokana in Ward No. 21 of Lalitpur Metropolitan City are busy marking the festival of Rudrayani, popularly known as Sikali Jatra.
