Along the way, the kids sprint to Rango (Male Buffalo). Rango (He Buffalo) is fed liquors before he runs. Crowds of people are running drunk Rango .

Brahmayani Shakti Peetha was carried through Ga Chhen, Dattatraya, Tala-Tunchi, Suryamadhi, Chyamhasingh, and Degaina to conclude the procession. This procession, according to cultural advocates, has grown in importance since the Middle Ages. According to him, the journey should be pitch black and heavy, with no bodily traumas. A rope is attached to the Khamey at Navadurga Dyo-Chhen. on the days of Shravan Shukla Chaturdashi and Gathamug Chahare ( Ghantakarna Chaturdashi). According tales Lord Mahadev is thought to have been recreation  on this day in Navadurga Dyo-Chhen.

Khamey is carried to the Brahmayani temple, where he is slain in a mass sacrifice. Khamey’s blood is thrown on Navdurga Devgan’s mukundo (Mask) after the Rakmi Khadgis of Bhaktapur Taleju Sacrifice him. The remaining blood is collected in a clay jar once the Navadurga goddesses have been satisfied in this manner. Bhaila Koncha is the name of the place. Bhaila Koncha Navadurga Dyo-Chhen.houses this.

It is thought that the slaughter of Khamay will mark the beginning of Navdurga Devgana.

Rango (He Buffalo) as pretend  Mahishasurar demon is preserved at the temple until the Hindu festival of Nawami. Every year on Ghantakarna Chaturdashi (Gathamuga Chahre), Khamey is transported from Ghantakarna Chaturdashi (Gathamuga Chahre) to the Navadurga Dyo-Chhen.  in Nag Panchami. Every year on the day of Vijaya Dashami, the head of state (president) pays a visit to this temple. Money was brought in by Khamey sponser. As a result, the Rango (He Buffalo) offered in the temple as a symbol of Mahishasura for the Rango (He Buffalo) Jatra should be huge and entirely black.

It is common to hunt for the turnip in various locations with the help of Taleju Temple officials, and to keep the requisite money by the person who wants it.
