  • Boat Rally At Dal Lake Organized To Revive Tourism In Kashmir

    Boat Rally At Dal Lake Organized To Revive Tourism In Kashmir
    A man installs a flag of the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party on a Shikara during a boat rally at Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 18, 2025. Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari leads a boat rally at Dal Lake for the revival of tourism in Kashmir two days after the Jammu and Kashmir government reopens 16 tourist destinations for tourists and locals. Over 40 tourist destinations across Jammu and Kashmir are closed for tourists and locals following the April 22 terrorist attack in Baisaran meadows of Pahalgam tourist destination, 100 km south of Srinagar. The Pahalgam terror attack leads to the cancellation of nearly 80% of tourist bookings in the valley, delivering a severe blow to the tourism sector, which contributes significantly to the region's GDP. This setback occurs at a time when the region witnesses back-to-back tourism booms and hopes for a bumper tourist season this year as well. At least 26 tourists are killed on April 22 when gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam, in what officials describe as the most serious civilian attack in the region in recent years. Meanwhile, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi tells U.S. President Donald Trump late on Tuesday that a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after a four-day conflict in May is achieved through talks between the two militaries and not U.S. mediation, India's senior-most diplomat says. Donald Trump says last month that the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors agree to a ceasefire after talks mediated by the U.S., and that the hostilities end after he urges the countries to focus on trade instead of war.

  • Nepal Observes Bhoto Jatra, Formally Ending Months Long Rato Machhindranath Chariot Procession

    Nepal Observes Bhoto Jatra, Formally Ending Months Long Rato Machhindranath Chariot Procession
    The idol of Lord Rato Machhindranath is pictured during a procession of the homecoming of the god after completing the Bhoto Jatra procession in Lalitpur, Nepal, on June 1, 2025. The chariot procession of Rato Machhindranath is observed for at least a month to four months and ends with the showing of the 'Bhoto,' expecting the rightful owner to come and claim it. Historians claim that the chariot procession of Machindranath started around 1,300 years ago. According to legend, shortly after the procession starts, the queen of the serpent king Karkotak develops an eye ailment. While searching for a healer, Karkotak mistakes a farmer working in the fields for a physician and brings him to Taudaha, a wetland on the outskirts of Kathmandu. Frightened, the farmer prays to Machhindranath and rubs his hands on the soil to make an herbal paste. He offers it to Karkotak as medicine, and the paste cures the queen's eyes. Grateful, Karkotak rewards the farmer with a jewel-studded vest (bhoto) and returns him to the human world. The farmer begins wearing the bhoto while working in his fields. One day, a ghost in human form steals the vest. The farmer searches everywhere but cannot find it. Later, while attending the Machhindranath chariot festival, he sees the ghost wearing the same vest and claims it as his. When the ghost refuses to return it, a dispute breaks out. People summon Karkotak to resolve the conflict. In the end, because neither party can prove ownership, they entrust the bhoto to Machhindranath. Since then, devotees follow the tradition of displaying the bhoto after the chariot procession, hoping that someone with valid proof of ownership will come forward. Each year, they display the sacred vest on an auspicious date. According to legend, no one has succeeded in proving ownership of the bhoto so far. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
