Sikali Jatra is being celebrated with much fanfare and enthusiasm in Khokana.
Locals have been celebrating this Jatra every year by worshiping various gods and goddesses of Hindu.
The Jatra begins on the day of Ghatasthapana (the first day of Dashain festival) and concludes on the day of Fulpati.
On the occasion, locals offer prayers to Goddess Rudrayani (Sikali).
The Khokana locals do not celebrate Dashain. They celebrate Sikali Jatra as an alternative to Dashain.
