The first Art & Culture Festival is being organised in Nepal from September 5–27, 2025, across multiple venues including Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Kirtipur, Lalitpur, and Hadigaon. This 22-day event coincides with the traditional Indra Jatra celebrations at Basantpur Durbar Square, where the Living Goddess Kumari, Ganesh, and Bhairav are taken out on wooden chariots. By linking the festival with a vibrant cultural tradition, Nepal aims to attract both domestic and international visitors, highlighting its rich heritage and diverse artistic expressions while boosting cultural tourism in the region.
