Prakas Dhaubhadel, proprietor of the Hotel Heritage, was kind to invite us to his house on Taumadhi Square to watch the Chariot of Bhairab being pulled during the first day of Bisket Jatra at Bhaktapur heralding the start of the Nepali New Year. Bhairav, the other god on the Chariot is the fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation: a well respected rude god.
The tug of war teams for the chariot carrying two gods from the temple in the square consists of the upper side of the town v.s. the lower side of the town ( population 80,000 ). The result is always the demise of the chariot followed by a brick fight between the two teams to settle the winner. The teams join each other from time to time to attack the police, who are abundant and armed, and whenever the police retreat, the brick fight between upper and lower sides resumes.
It is an exciting injurious celebration and teams of red cross doctors arrive early.
