The Kumari, considered a living goddess, attends festivities on the last day of the Rato Machindranath chariot festival, also known as Bhoto Jatra. The event is celebrated every year to herald good monsoon rains for increased rice harvest, prosperity and good luck and it is one of the main festivals observed by both the Buddhist and Hindu communities of Kathmandu.
