Gai Jatra, or the Cow Festival, is a unique cultural event celebrated in Nepal to honor deceased family members. As cows are considered sacred in Hinduism and believed to help guide the departed souls to heaven, families that have lost loved ones participate in a procession with either cows or children dressed as cows. Alongside the solemn aspect of the festival, it also incorporates humor, satire, and social commentary in the form of street performances, resulting in a fascinating blend of joy and sorrow.
