Bhaktapur's cultural and historical significance is Bisca: Jatra is believed to have started from Lichchavikal. The Jatra begins by pulling the chariots of Bhairav and Bhadrakali in front of the Panchtale temple in Taumarhi.
During the Jatra, various religious and cultural activities are conducted for nine days. Necessary arrangements have been made for security throughout this period.
