Description

Sacred Synthesis- Khokhana Series

Khokana, located alongside the Bagmati River in the Lalitpur district of the Kathmandu Valley, has a deep historical significance. According to local legend, it was settled by Gopal Bamsi, who was believed to have been accompanied by Lord Krishna himself. Over the centuries, Khokana has become a repository of history, culture, and tradition, embodying the essence of ancient times.

The celebrations in Khokana serve as a reminder of its diverse cultural influences, including elements from Tantrik practices, Vedic rituals, Buddhism, and animistic traditions. These festivities reflect the rich tapestry of beliefs and customs that have shaped the identity of the community over time.
