In 1698 BS the king of Kantipur was imprisoned by his son Pratap Malla, claiming that his father was mentally imbalanced and thus unfit to continue as a king. Pratap Malla then became the king of Kantipur and later on some incidents occured in his life such that he established a system of Gai Jatra. which is popular still today. This story of Gai Jatra is a mixture of love, tragedy and sprituality. Thee carnival or festival Gai Jatra, also known as the carnival of death, is still celebrated each year in Nepal. People from different houses who have lost their dear and near ones come out on this day dressed in bright and funny clothes, symbolizing the greatest irony of life- death! | www.nepalrevives.com | www.youtu.be/nepalrevives
