Bagbazar: This Kathmandu street turns colourful and vibrant weeks ahead of every election

Outside the signboard shops in Bagbazar of Kathmandu, these days, hang flags, badges and t-shirts with political parties’ flags and election symbols printed on them. The colourful ambience of the area makes you feel there is a carnival along the street.

It is not exactly a carnival, but these shop owners say they are in the busiest period of the past five years.
