Seto Machindranath

Seto Machindranath, also known as Janabaha Dyo, Avalokiteśvara, Karunamaya, Guanyin[1] is a deity worshiped by both Hindus and Buddhists in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Located at Keltole between Asan and Indra Chok in central Kathmandu, the temple is believed to have been established around the 10th century.

[2][3] Every year, the deity's image is placed in a chariot and paraded around Kathmandu[1] in a festival known as Jana Baha Dyah Jatra.

[4] It is believed that during the rule of King Yakshya Malla, in a place called Kantipuri people used to bathe in the holy river and visit Swayambhunath this led them to heaven after death.

He then told the king to build a temple where Kalmati and Bagmati meet and to organize chariot procession so that the god could visit the people and bless them with happiness and long life.

The ceremony is held on the 8th day of the bright fortnight of Pohelā (पोहेला), the third month in the lunar Nepal Era calendar.
