Also known as the ‘Himalayan Mahakumbh,’ this festival marks the commemoration of the goddess Nanda Devi, in which devotees from both the Garhwal and Kumaon regions of Uttarakhand come together to be part of the holy yatra. The Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, which lasts for three weeks and is organised once every twelve years, takes almost 22 days to complete.
During this yatra, all parts of society participate-dalits play drums, thakurs blast bhankauras, and brahmins take charge of ceremonial practices.
Is there any other festival which joins all communities together for a single cause ? What a beautiful message.
This can happen only in Uttarakhand
