2 gods cause a dispute between 2 cities in Kathmandu. What is it all about?

Kathmandu, the city of festivals, has many interesting legends, myths or stories behind each of its unique jatras (festivals), adding colours to the celebration. But the same stories that give context to the traditions also gave rise to controversies.

Recently, a similar rift started between the two cities–Kathmandu and Kirtipur–of the valley. The reason was the installation of two idols— Rato Machhindranath and Yaaka Misaa— at the foot of the Uma Maheshwar temple in Pyanga Thaa of Kirtipur municipality. The two idols of Karunamaya (Rato Machchindranath) and Yaaka Misaa, believed to be his consort or lover, were installed on the northern wall of mythological rock at Pyanga Thaa, facing south.
