According to folklore, Devraj Indra’s mother Basundhara required a flower from Parijaat in order to fast on Bhadra Shukla‘s fourth day, therefore her son Jayant was dispatched to find it. Indraputra Jayant was caught by the demons while harvesting Parijaat flowers while on the lookout for them. Jayant‘s hands were then bound behind his back. A fight was fought between the gods and the demons to save Jayanta, and the gods won. Indrajatra was held to commemorate the occasion.
Indrajatra has been celebrated in Bhaktapur with the goal of preserving happiness, peace, and prosperity in the country in the face of natural disasters, starvation, epidemics, heavy rains, the passage of time, and enemies. He also stated that the procession’s major message was that a radish thief is a thief, and a horse thief is a thief.
