Gai Jatra

A celebration of life, death and renewal

This vibrant festival, celebrated in Nepal, honors loved ones who have passed away. People dress as cows, which are believed to guide souls to heaven, and participate in lively parades. Originating from a king's wish to console his grieving queen, this event symbolizes the circle of life, death, and renewal.
