Living Goddess of Patan, Unikia Bajracharya, attends coconut throwing ceremony from top of the chariot during a Rato Machindranath festival celebrated at Lagankhel on May 18, 2016. Rato Macchendranath is also said as the “god of rain” and both Hindus and Buddhists worship the Macchendranath in hope of good rain to prevent drought during the rice plantation season. According to old belief, whoever catches the thrown holy coconut fruit, it will be blessed with a baby son and will have a prosper life year ahead.
