Bhoto Jatra is one of the major cultural events of Patan celebrated about a month. The festival takes place in Lagankhel at Patan. Prior to Bhoto Jatra, a towering chariot of Lord Red Machhindranath( god of rainfall) is pulled by the mass of people with the help of ropes through narrow-street from Pulchowk via Sundhara to Lagankhel. The chariot is built of cane and timber and is taller than that used in White Machhindranath. Wherever the chariot halt in a way to Lagankhel, devotees light up Dewa (a butter lamp) and keep an all-night vigil. During the last day of the festival, the bhoto or waistcoat, itself the subject to too many legends, of Red Machhindranath is displayed form the chariot. The bhoto or waistcoat, a dress decorated with diamond, believed to belong to King of Nagas (snakes), is shown to the public from the four corner of chariot.
During the festival chariot of Minnath is also pulled along with Red Machhindranath. Devotees offer and pray to receive blessings of rainfall for the coming planting season.
