Sikali Jatra
The Masked Deities of Khokana
Each autumn, the small Newar village of Khokana fills with the sound of drums and masked dancers — Sikali Jatra, one of the oldest festivals in the Kathmandu Valley. For years it was a ritual kept almost entirely to itself. What remains today is still quiet, still intimate, and still very much alive.
